LA-1K Frequency display
Just received my new LA-1K. Love the AMP.? Just wondering if anyone else has
a problem with the AMP frequency display not displaying the same frequency as the
transceiver? Not a big deal but thought

Re: LA-1K Frequency display
Mine is pretty much spot on. It might vary a hz or so but that’s about all.

New amp concerns
Hello,

Re: New amp concerns
I think the wait signal comes up when you close the PTT switch but have not
sent power down the coax. So if you key on SSB and don’t talk, you will see
wait.
The bar graph on my LA-1k is no where

Power meter
an earlier poster mentioned that the power meter on the LA-1K was inaccurate and, I guess by extension, the SWR meter as well.? At the present time I do not have a separate meter.
Can I rely on the

Re: Power meter
The way the meter was designed it would be hard to get a good power reading

the middle of the “600”. Best guess is when

Re: Power meter
So what's the most power you have seen on your LP-100 from the amp ??
I broke down and ordered an LP-100, kind of disappointed I had to just to get some accuracy.

Re: Power meter
I have not really put the coals to it because I have some RG8-x in the
shack I want to replace before I do. However I ran it up to 1KW very very
briefly.
In all honesty I have been a ham for over

Re: New amp concerns
Can anyone from Palstar address my relay concern and the "TX WAIT " ??
Thanks

Re: New amp concerns
Best thing to do is call us. If it says TX wait that's normally what you get when you ground the push to talk line, but RF is not being applied. Call us and we'll explain everything:?*800-773-793*.

come on so quickly and the relay is pretty noisy. Not
