Re: LA-1K vs Acom 1200S
I'd like to have a standalone remote control panel for the amp on Windows. I wonder how TRX Manager is doing it?

Re: LA-1K vs Acom 1200S
I'm looking at both of those too.
The Palstar is made in the US and so *IF* there were any shipping, it would be shorter and cheaper AND I like to support US industries.
The Acom has only one antenna

AM use
Any advise for using the LA-1K on AM ? thinking about giving it a try, I've never used AM mode. The manual says 275 watts max for AM, is this what you set the carrier to ? Thanks.

Re: LA-1K vs Acom 1200S
Rick,
I have had the LA-1K for 5 months. I'll preface this by saying I think

My first ten minutes of use went well, but then it suddenly

Re: LA-1K vs Acom 1200S
Thanks to those who offered comments. Yes, the Bulgaria location for service is less than appealing, however I note that overall, Acom amps seem to get excellent reviews. Apparently teething issues
