160 power output


Rich McCabe
 

Have never noticed until just now my LA-1K does not make full power on 160 meters. Other bands seem to be fine.

Testing into a dummy load the amp does:
40 input 720 watts
45 input 730 watts
50 input 750 watts
55 input 765 watts

How many watts does it take to drive your LA-1K to? 1KW on? 160?

Are using 120 or 220? My 7610 drives it to 1KW with ~35w on 220 vac (160m)

Jerry,

?

220 volts

?

35 watts input would give me only 750 out into a dummy load on any of the other bands.? Takes 55 watts to make 1KW for me.

I should have added that was into an end fed half wave wire. I just tried it again and it took 40w to get 1100w out of it on 1900.00

I have a resonant double bazooka for 160 and always see 1100 out with 40 watts drive.

Rich,

I never tried the LA-1K on 160 ( I have no antenna for 160), but just tried it into a 2K Dummy Load in CW Key down for the first time. This is what I show on the LA-1K Wattmeter and also on the Alpha 4510 wattmeter that follows it (both agree on the wattage):

?

??????????????????????? 35 input = 889 Watts

??????????????????????? 45 input = 940 Watts

??????????????????????? 50 input = 1020 Watts

?

35 in gives me 1K+ a little more.

Just erected a 160m EFHW today (turned into an eight-hour day). Did a quick tune (7610, Palstar HF Auto, Palstar LA-1K) this evening. On 1940 with 45w LSB drive I obtained 1250W; 10w LSB drive saw around 300W.
