Re: Keying Relay Buffer Debate
Hi Barry . . .
If enough complaints flow to Palstar, I'm sure they'll take it
seriously, if they haven't already.
Thanks for the note -- you're not the only one driven nuts!

Re: Keying Relay Buffer Debate
Hi Al,
Thanks for your post. The jumping of swr up to 1.8 is not a good indication btw. I would do some investigation on that 80m antenna or connection. This amp seems solid for the most part and i

Re: Keying Relay Buffer Debate
Interesting. I am also having the same bypass issue, but only when I am using fldigi to send some message. 80m is the worst example, and is totally useless. In addition I am using the HF-AUTO tuner,

Re: Keying Relay Buffer Debate
Fyi I never had this issue on CW, SSB or Digital.
However not sure if this is an effect, I checked my rise time on CW. The
default in the ICOM 756 Pro3 was way to short which can really cause

Band data config for an Anan 7000 DLE MkII?
I think, to do band data I just use the Yaesu/Icom port on the LA-1k
I *think* the entries in the manual for the LA-1k for BCD would translate
directly with the check boxes in the Thetis or PowerSDR

Re: Keying Relay Buffer Debate
Interesting that there is an admission that these amps are going into bypass mode like this. I have spoken to Mark about it and he says his amp never does that. Others who own their amps say theirs

Re: Keying Relay Buffer Debate
I am in total agreement with that statement and said as much to Palstar
that perhaps the protection circuits were /too/ protective for the real
world of antennas.? I also said I didn't spend $3600 to

Re: Keying Relay Buffer Debate
If the output devices in the LA-1K are rated for 64:1 SWR per their spec sheet, why does the LA-1K not allow at least a 3:1 SWR before faulting?? It could easily back the power off between 1.5:1 and

Re: Keying Relay Buffer Debate
Hi Kent,
I am having the same issue intermittent faulting BYPASS SWR and my SWR is totally fine. Drives me nuts. I didn’t know Palstar was aware of this issue. They didn’t tell me that.

Re: Keying Relay Buffer Debate

The tech told you correctly, especially if you are using RF-sensing to
change bands.
But remember, the LA-1K is not a QSK amplifier.
If operating full CW break-in is what lies behind

Keying Relay Buffer Debate
Would like to get a discussion going on if it is necessary to use a *Keying Relay Buffer* when using the Palstar LA1K Amp. I called Palstar this week and talked with one of their technicians and told
