It's also important for Palstar to identify in their work order the specific LA-1K circuit card or *circuit cards* in which they removed and replaced R-9 and C-1.? Again, said repair action, in and

Re: No power out
Steven,
Hopefully your LA-1K "no power out" situation is just a direct result of some lose connections relating to its "PTT" circuitry, as I tried to illustrate yesterday in my post

Re: No power out
Have you tried feeding the LA-1K with your Icom-7610 to see if that would anything, Steven?

No power out
All of a sudden I no longer have any power out in OPR Mode.
Example:? SWR is near flat; using 20 watts out from my Yaesu FTdx101MP the LA1K, in STBY mode, shows 20 watts out and so does the HF-Auto;

Re: FTDX5000 with LA1K
My bad. Meant KHz not hz. Im getting to old for all this dragging the issue behind my car. Consider the issue resolved and not going to get into discussions based on a typo.

Re: FTDX5000 with LA1K
Barry,
A *fully functional FTDX5000* doesn't cause the issue of the LA-1K going into "TX BYPASS" after an initial warm-up period of 3 to 5 minutes, as the presenter stated in his YouTube video

Re: FTDX5000 with LA1K
With a "No." response in the very beginning of your post, can I take that to mean your FTDX5000 has the issue of transmitting "250hz" even after its initial warm-up period of 3 to 5 minutes?

Re: High SWR causing "Bypass SWR" error when in STBY
Hi Thomas,
I'd be very much interested in knowing Palstar's failure analysis determination relative to your LA-1K SWR issue, since it might give me an idea of what could be causing the SWR

I talked with Mark at Palstar today. He received my LA-1K and validated that it does have a SWR issue. He said the SWR circuit is reading high in both Forward and Reflected. I'm happy to hear
