Yes, those are the parts needed. Follow the wiring chart. And, yes those
wires in the cable are ultra-thin gauge. I found the best way to strip the
insulation is just to use your fingernails to strip

Joe,
Thank you for your reply.
I am ready to order both parts, but would like to know which exact parts you used...I think you mentioned a possibility or concern of wires breaking.
Here are the

Re: Brand new Palstar LA-1K and brand new Palstar HF Auto, can't get them to work...
Kent I know what you mean. I do build a lot of stuff, but when it comes to
things like a control cable I'd rather buy premade instead of trying to
round up the individual parts needed to make one.

Thanks, Eric.? I figured it was just a typo.

Re: SWR High SSB ONLY - When Using LA-1K Amp
The 7300 was/is notorious for overshoot, unless it's been corrected.
The overshoot (RF output from the 7300 spiking considerably higher than the LA-1K likes) causes the LA-1K to protect itself by

You give no call sign so one cannot tell how experienced you might be with amateur radio, nor can it be determined what you might be doing wrong because you give no information as to what you are

Re: Brand new Palstar LA-1K and brand new Palstar HF Auto, can't get them to work...
That cable won't work at all.
Both jacks on the LA-1k are DB9 (DE9, if you prefer).? Nine pins, not 15.
It WILL work if you cut the 15 pin plug off and install a DB9 plug.

Re: SWR High SSB ONLY - When Using LA-1K Amp
I had the same issue with my IC-7300. The LA-1K would frequently kick out due to overdrive unless I ran the drive super low. Tried 3 different 7300s, same problem with all.? I understand the 7610

Re: Brand new Palstar LA-1K and brand new Palstar HF Auto, can't get them to work...
To key the amp you need to activate the PTT (push to talk). The FTDX10
doesn't have a PTT RCA jack, so you must use a specific cable, refer to
page 11 in the FTDX10 manual. I ran into the same issue

Re: Digital modes and fast temperature rise
My LA-1K will do the 200-250 watts FT8 described by KT3V, but only on lower frequency bands - might actually do more, haven't tried that much lately.
But on 10 & 12 meters, it will only do about 175

Re: Digital modes and fast temperature rise
As I recall the continuous commercial service (CCS) rating for the LA-1K is
about 225W output using 240VAC power line. And the SWR needs to be as
close to 1:1 as possible. Depending on room
