Re: LA-1K Trips to Standby in SSB mode only
SWR is 1:1., using Palstar HF-auto tuner.
Only noticed it on 20 meters.
Does not trip to standby on other modes, on SSB
I replaced jumper coax between IC-7610, LA-1K and HF-auto
It's on voice peaks is

Re: LA-1K Trips to Standby in SSB mode only
I had tripping issues. All I can tell you is Don’t drive the amp more than 45w. 50max and not more than 1000w output.
1. What is the SWR?
2. What band does it do it on?
3. Check your Coax ends

Re: LA-1K Trips to Standby in SSB mode only
Thomas,
60-80 watts of drive is too much!!! The specs list 55W maximum. Palstar
used to state 60W maximum but reduced it to 55W. You are going to damage
your amp if you continue to drive it at

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.

Re: LA-1K Trips to Standby in SSB mode only
What band are you tripping out on?
What is the SWR on the band?
When you are using low power, what is the reflected power coming back?
Are you using an antenna tuner?
If using an antenna tuner, the

LA-1K Trips to Standby in SSB mode only
My LA-1K keeps tripping to stand-by when I drive it on SSB.
On CW, RTTY or FM/AM, I can key the amp with 60-80 watts drive and get full 1200 watts carrier out, no issue. Keys/Unkeys/ no
