Re: LA-1K Max feed-through power?
Jim, ? There is no problem. With the amp off, it will use the Power of the FT5000. ? With the Amp on, there is a bypass that you can turn off, but then if your doing that then just turn off the amp and your fine. ? One note you may want to heed. In menu optioin 171 of the rig, set it to MAX Power 50w so you don’t damage the LA1K unknowingly. It does go into bypass if its over 55w but just to play it safe. ? You can always manually adjust it up to 200w if you don’t want to use the amp. ? This is how I use mine. Store it as 50W and If I want only 100 w out then I manually adjust the knobs on the rig. ? 73 and Enjoy the beautiful LA1K ? Barry VE6UM ?

Subject: [la1k] LA-1K Max feed-through power?? Just bought a FTDX-5000MP, which I will not be using with the LA-1K. I do, however want to pass the 200 watts from the the Yaesu through the LA-1K on its way to the antennas. Any issues here?
Thanks,

Band Data/Interface cable Elecraft K4 to LA1k
I am looking for an interface cable for the Elecraft K4 to LA1K? Is there one available or did you have to make it?

I ordered mine from Palsar. She grabbed one fresh off the line and shipped it. Great amp

Re: Where did you order from and delivered time
I ordered it from Palstar.? They must be caught up because I had it in two days.

When I ordered my LA-1K from Palstar, it took about 9 weeks from order until
it was delivered. ? ?Same thing for the HF-AUTO as they were both ordered at the same time.

Re: Where did you order from and delivered time
Thanks for your replies!
Is anyone else having delay getting your LA-1K, through HRO?
?
I ordered from HRO six months and a few days ago.? I was told that I was number seven on the list.? At that time, I was told that they were getting about four a month.? Around three weeks ago, I called again and was told that they had gotten TEN in and I was now number two on the list.? I just now understand why number two!? I assume that there are shortages, but, at least be honest with me, keep me informed!? My HF-Auto, through HRO, ordered before my LA-1K came in short time compared!? They are gaining interest and I am paying interest on the CC.? The sale I bought my LA-1K is turning out to not be a sale on my end!? On the last call, they also told me that the cable, DB-10MY, which was also ordered has yet to be in stock so far this year.
Getting very flustered over this salel!? Thought I would have it for the summer!
Thanks for letting be vent!?
Happy hamming!

Oh wow great! ?I too have the LA-1K and HF-Auto with a Yaesu FTdx101MP. Let me know when you get that working.
Here are my thoughts on the integration of the two devices and the Transceiver (in my case the Yaesu FTdx101MP But it could be any transceiver…. (Best to keep the Transceiver as a module(s) with choice.
Note my transceiver and LA-1K have the serial cable which tells the LA-1K what band I have invoked on the FTdx101MP, So the LA-1K auto-magically goes to the band BEFORE sending a carrier. ?This happens now… The following is all done manually or thru WIN4YAESU software...
My wish is to have one button, when pushed…. —> FTdx101MP goes to FM mode for sending carrier —> FTdx101MP audio gain reduced so FM noise is tolerable and does not hurt ears —> FTdx101MP power out goes down to 25W —> LA-1K goes to STANDBY —> then I step on the PTT foot switch send carrier thru STANDBY LA-1K to HF-AUTO —> HF-Auto finds/recalls tuning solution (this is a “normal” HF-Auto feature) —> node red checks HF-AUTO’s solution SWR and insures < or equal to 1.5… if > 1.5 then error flashing etc...
Second function... —> I push a button (if no error based on SWR solution) and FTdx101MP goes to USB or LSB from FM (based on band) —> FTdx101MP audio gain increased to previous Audio level (or my choice via slider?) —> FTdx101MP power out goes o 35W (Or my choice- Slider??) —> LA-1K switched from STANDBY to OPERATE
So then if I step on the PTT switch I am sending ~500 ~700 watts to a tuned antenna in the correct mode. Now…. THAT would be nice…. Really nice.
翱辫迟颈辞苍蝉…. HF-Auto has three antenna out ports, perhaps a choice button for which antenna to use, default is Antenna 1 or last used port.
Your thoughts…

Hi Art
No raspberry pi or such.? Just a Windows 10 machine 64 bit but should work on any Windows 10 desktop or laptop.
Good luck.
Just got an HF-Auto and will be getting a node red solution for it.? I run everything remote so I always need the latest telemetry from the devices.

Paul NO0T Paul and Claus, thank you so much for the information on NodeRed an the LA-1K integration flow. I have been reading that user group for quite some time. As a former programmer, I can get ‘er done. Must you have a Raspberry Pi in the mix somewhere for NodeRed?

I do wish that my LA-1K had a CAT control so that from my PC I could put the LA-1K into STANDBY from OPERATE and then into OPERATE from STANDBY.
As it stands now, to do the two commands, I have to perform this manually.
For instance, this is important when sending tuning carrier to the Palstar HF-AUTO in FM/CW mode.
This lack of integration between the HF-Auto and the LA-1K is the only thing that seems to have been missed.
Have any of you been able to some how perform going into Standby via CAT control or some other means?
Perhaps I have missed something…?
I am using either WIN4YAESU or Ham Radio Deluxe Rig Control to do the CAT…. But these two softwares are NOT aware of the HF-Auto or LA-1K.
I also have the optional 3rd party HF-AUTO software by Terry which I find personally overly complex to configure with my antennas so I tend to not use it any longer.
Thanks 73 Art W1SWL?
