Re: 120/240V switch?
Thanks Kent, I wish all owners would look at the product overall instead of
cranking about it. My LA1K is over 2 years old with moderate use, never a
hiccup running 750-900 wts driving at 40 watts.

Just ask any Elecraft owner about a "work in progress" and see what he says, especially if he owns a K4.

ebay. Several dealers selling brand new from $ 125.00. Also Amazon.

Re: 120/240V switch?
I would agree.? Palstar seems to be doing well keeping production and repairs going when others are lagging behind by months if not longer.? Flip over to the ACOM group and you will be glad you

Re: 120/240V switch?
Hi Guys,
I have been following this topic for a while. I feel that we need to give Palstar a break. I don't know if you realize how hard it is to find parts? With my little DX Connection QSK box, I

Re: 120/240V switch?
Hi Fred,
In his Nov-2018 ARRL review of the LA-1K, Dr. Terry G. Glagowski, W1TR, states "Palstar has changed to a different input relay, and they updated the review unit under warranty."? Sounds to

Re: 120/240V switch?
Hi Ray,
I have 2 LA-1K amps. I accidentally forgot to turn down my transceiver
power after running barefoot and caused some damage to the first one I
owned. When they repaired it, they installed a

My experience with Eva was practically identical to yours, Joe.? After she received my PayPal payment in full, Palstar had my LA-1K shipped within the next day or two, as promised.? Both Eva and

Fred,
Your most recent experience with Palstar sure sounds like my many encounters with the U.S. Postal Service in recent years!? Oh btw, what all went wrong with your LA-1K needing repair actions

I will add my experiences to the conversation. I own several pieces of

Ray,
My experience with Palstar is quite different from yours. I live within a

Richard,
Interesting to see that Fritz, N4JVP, also suggested giving Palstar a telephone call... So, I'll take this opportunity to share with y'all my experiences (both before and after the sale) in

Re: 120/240V switch?
I received my amp in June/July 2022 and the provided instructions

Ron,
Thanks for the clarifications.. my guess is your master electrician achieved the 240VAC (varying somewhat with inbound voltage) to satisfy your stated requirements for your LA-1K.
