Re: New LA1K owner
When I've used mine on a 110 outlet you can get 700-800 watts depending on the antenna. -- Eric D.Clanton DVM 1519 Pelham Rd Jacksonville, AL 36265 256-435-8387 WN4WDE "Life's tough......it's even

New LA1K owner
Dear Friends, I'm about to purchase an LA1K and HF Auto.? I live in an apartment above a garage and would like to get a 240 v line installed.? The electrician called today and gave me an estimate

So I recently received my LA-1K and put it in sequence with my Yaesu, FT 991a, to the amp, to Palstar?AT2K tuner,? to a lightning suppressor outside the shack?via lmr 240 coax,?to a balun?via

Re: 30 METERS
Selectable outputs is a feature found in today's solid-state amplifiers. In years gone by antenna switching was done manually. Amplifiers with tuned input circuits are another relatively new feature.

Re: 30 METERS
Hi Norm, The problem in CW Normal Mode is that the initial applied power is full power, NOT reduced power on the first dit or dah of each transmission. This is not tune mode; this is actual CW

Re: 30 METERS
I'm possibly misunderstanding the timing diagram in the LA-1K manual. It would seem that low power drive is applied but the output relay is closed (and ready to pass high power) before the input relay
Re: 30 METERS
Hi Norm, Great question; I have seen vintage RF amplifiers with inferior design implementation such as grouping bands (my bad; could be state-of-the-art design back then) that's acceptable in my

Re: 30 METERS
Hi Norm, Semi break-in works fine in Direct Mode. ln Normal Mode with semi break-in, the relays "always" hot switch on the first dit or dah of EACH transmission. In CW mode in contrast with SSB

Re: 30 METERS
The QSK-2500 seems to be a decent QSK solution if you must have it for a $395 price. I'm fine with semi-break-in. I assume the LA-1K works fine with semi-break-in using appropriate delay set on the

Re: 30 METERS
Hi James ... I use the Direct Keying mode in the LA-1K with a DX Connections QSK2500 T/R switch (https://qsk2500.myfreesites.net/k3hzp-dx-connection-background). It's an excellent product and turns

Re: 30 METERS
Thanks Kent K9ZTV: I have avoided using LA1K on CW because its relay(s) just are not designed for such service. What procedure did you use to avoid premature death of the relay(s)? Thanks 73

30 METERS
The LA-1K operates perfectly well on 30 meters at 200 watts, driven with 7 watts. Just finished a long CW chat on 10.118. See pictures. End of discussion. 73, Kent K9ZTV

Re: Antenna selection
So the KPA1500 was designed to include 30 and 60 meters while the LA1K was not. As others have pointed out; power limits make the use of an amplifier superfluous on those bands. What is the big deal?
