Hello All,

The FCC ID on the back of my LA-1K reads 2ANZ2-LA-1K.? Did a FCC ID search for 2ANZ2-LA-1K on FCC.gov and was able to find the LA-1K EMC test report (Report No.: 100620-8) as submitted to the FCC for consideration.? This link will take you to the FCC.gov page, where you can view a copy of said report.

EMC Test Report Observation:
Test Data Summary and Plots pertaining to "Occupied Bandwidth / Authorized Frequency Bands" in said test report covered only 6M, 10M, 12M, 15M, 17M, 20M, 40M, 80M and 160M.

Next, I clicked on Users Manual 2 (on the same page where I pulled up the EMC test report) to access the initial-released copy of the LA-1K Technical Manual as submitted to the FCC for consideration.

LA-1K Technical Manual (initial release) Observations:

1.? The LA-1K front panel view (see Page 7 and Front Cover of the Technical Manual) clearly identifies 40M/30M as being available on the original LA-1K touch-screen display.

2.? It states near the top of Page 5 of the Technical Manual, in part, "BAND SELECT? To switch bands, 160M-80M-40-30M-20-15M-12-10M-6M, press the "BAND" button on the touchscreen display, then select desired band.? The LA-1K selects the proper band automatically when transmit is activated.

Questions:

1.? Why would the LA-1K EMC test report, as submitted to the FCC, not include test results of the then available 30M band??

2.? Why would the current version of the LA-1K not include the 30M band as one of the band selections available on its touch-screen display??

Apologize for the rhetorical questions; answers to those questions should become apparent when you consider their claims, as seen near the top of the company's LA-1K page , stating in part, "We are pleased to announce that the LA-1K far exceeded all standards in FCC testing at a FCC-certified laboratory and received certification for equipment authorization."

Oh btw it's important to note, that if 60M testing was part their LA-1K test plan, no 60M test results could be found in the LA-1K EMC test report either, as submitted to the FCC for consideration.

Your answers could be answered with a call to Palstar, assuming they dont have your number blocked.

After sharing my concerns with Mark Ward (Palstar's technician) about the way lack of 60M and 30M BAND Selection Buttons, clearly made available on the current LA-1K touch-screen display, would put a licensed amateur radio operator solely at risks of violating FCC rules and regulations when making 60M/30M over-the-air transmissions (regardless of permissible power output levels) with the LA-1K, Mr. Ward advised me that he will forward my comments to Mr. Paul Hrivnak (Palstar's Chief Engineer, President & CEO) on "the separate band annunciators for 30M/60M."? Mark added that it "would be a display change, with antenna switching capability."

Mr. Ward failed to provide me with an estimated date of completion for said LA-1K modifications.
