What is the resonance frequency of your tribander on 15M, Paul NO0T? 73, Ray KJ5MI

Looks like you must be really unlucky Ray. Been using my LA-1K for years now and it’s been flawless. I run 30 watts drive and 1KW out into my 6 meter LFA on CW, SSB, FT8, MSK 144 and Q65. Using

Al, When I saw your comment earlier today about your LA-1K "kicking out into BYPASS for some unknown reason" I responded in my post /g/la1k/message/1250 writing in part "My

Ray, I agree, and do not put too much faith in the reading on the amp. My Rig Expert tells me 1.02:1, but when connected directly to the amp it does show 1.0 SWR.

Al, I wouldn't put too much faith on the ability of the LA-1K being able to determine SWR with any degree of accuracy. *Observations made in March 2023:* The *LA-1K on STBY* mode indicated a *1.6:1

Nope, just 1 piece of coax from the back of the amp to the antenna - a double bazooka swr is 1.02:1 resonant.

I found that the band sensing of the LA-1K was not fast enough for FT8 on some bands. I cured that by cabling the amp to the radio. I also run 500 watts on FT8 all the time. I watch the temp and give

Al are you using a lightening arrester in the line to the antenna? Paul NO0T [email protected]> wrote:

The typical BYPASS SWR as I recall. I worked on that problem for over a year and got nowhere. Even Mark at Palstar was baffled, just kept telling me it had to be an antenna

What error messages popped up on the LA-1K when it kicked out? My experience doing SSB voice is that the amp’s protection schemes could be unnecessarily set on the conservative side. 73, Ray KJ5MI

I can't speak directly about FT-8, but I have tried to use my amp on other digital modes (using fldigi), and have experience a couple of different issues. For a long time it would keep kicking out

General consensus is to only run a few hundred watts on FT-8: /g/la1k/search?p=Created%2C%2Cft8+tranmit+power%2C20%2C2%2C0%2C0&q=ft8+power Ron?? WA2EIO

I'm not aware of any problems with FT8. Best Regards, and 73

Gents Today I started using my LA1K and HF Auto Tuner with my IC 7300 running FT 8. I noticed the amp running around 50c after a while so I put it in stand by for a while and resumed operation. Does

Mine is 2yrs old purchased direct from pal star, never a glitch. I drive it with 40 watts from a ten tec omni7 and get 800 to 1k out. Ant is a zero 5 40 meter vert fed with 213 coax. Swr is pretty

Gents, points well taken... There goes to show.. consumers are definitely at a major disadvantage relying solely on publicly available feedback relating to user experiences with various products

Agree 100%. Buyer's remorse can be a painful ordeal, for some. Please suffer your angst privately. 73, Jerry Webb, KB1N

Ray, I think the entire group has determined by your several posts, that you are no longer a Palstar fan. Since we have received your point of view I think this entire thread of Palstar bashing has

Remember Ameritron?? They are now part of the MFJ family -- jokingly called Mighty Fine Junk back in Texas where I first got my no-code ticket.? Hams around here warned me about Amerition's

I purchased my LA-1K direct from Palstar in late December of last year. It's about 4+ months old. The power switch does not light up, but it works fine in powering up the amp. I'm not sure I need it
