Re: Flex to amp cable
Good Morning Rich:
I believe that the LA-1K requires a PTT, unless your FTDI interface has a relay to key the AMP it probably won't work. I have an ANAN 100D , there is a PTT port on the rear of the

anan 100 D Rev 24 Question
Does the RCA port on the La-1k replace the Xtronics XDC-1 ? Can I plug the RCA cabled port directly to the Bypass port on the ANAN 100D.
Thanks for the feed back.

Also forgot to mention I use Splashtop as a streaming server on the shack
computer and as clients on my Android phone and my portable laptop to
operate on the road.

Re: Remoting the LA-1K - Easy
The relay is a double pole so it switches both sides of the 240 at the same
time. It has two connectors for the 120v and 4 connections (2 for each of
the 240 lines). The coil on the relay is

Re: Remoting the LA-1K - Easy
Let me clarify my "remote" usage and sorry if I was not clear. TRX-Manager has support for the LA-1K monitor and shows a representation of the front panel of the amp.
This allows me to monitor on

Re: Remoting the LA-1K - Easy
I guess I should have read the description where it said 8 pin, 120v is for the coil. Thanks

Re: Remoting the LA-1K - Easy
In this case the 120 volts is the relay voltage. You could use that or
something else. “double pole” I the important part.

Re: Remoting the LA-1K - Easy
Thanks for the reply Paul, that all makes sense except for the relay. How do you switch 240v with a 120v relay, are you just switching 1 leg of 120v ?

Re: Remoting the LA-1K - Easy
Not if you understand my shack set up. I use 4 monitor screens and operate facing the screens. The LA-1K is behind me. If you check out my QRZ.com page you will see the older 3 monitor set up. I have

Re: Remoting the LA-1K - Easy
Hi folks
I don't like to leave the LA-1K running all the time so I built a remote

"?I have the amp on only when I am in the shack operating"
Kind of eliminates the need for remote software doesn't it ?

Re: Remoting the LA-1K - Easy
That amp has a toggle switch for on/off. It is not "software" driven. I have the amp on only when I am in the shack operating.

Re: Remoting the LA-1K - Easy
do you have a way to remotely power the amp on and off, or do you just leave it on all the time ? Doesn't look like the software has that capability.

Re: Remoting the LA-1K - Easy
By the way you will need to upgrade the LA-1K firmware to 1.03H for it to work with TRX-Manager.? Then all you need is a free RS-232 port on your computer and a straight (not null) RS-232 cable and
