How to Remote operate the La1K?
|
I have my station setup for remote operation with the exception of the amp.? Is there a windows program that can control the amp to replicate what I do manually, i.e., switch power on, switch from standby to operate, view swr, power, bypass , and switch from operate to standby??
?
Thanks,
Frank

I talked to another ham who planned to run the LA-1k remotely. I do not believe there's a program to control it via the computer but if you have a wifi switch for the power and leave the amp in the ON position, you can switch it on and off remotely. In the settings you can have the amp go directly to operate when turned on. Also, the amp will individually remember which antenna port you last transmitted to on for each individual band and automatically switch to that antenna when you change bands. I only have one antenna but tested this function by switching the coax to different antenna ports and confirmed it in fact does this. He only found out about this from talking to Mark at Palstar.

I don't believe there's a way to toggle standby/operate remotely. If there is, I'd love to hear.

Is it possible to operate remotely? It sure seems like it. Would you have to turn the whole amp off to be in standby to say tune with 5 watts out from your exciter? It seems so.

I believe the ham I spoke to planned to operate resonant antennas so he wasn't as concerned about the ability to toggle operate/standby so it would accomplish what he wanted out of it.

Haven't built/tried it yet, but Terry's HF-Auto App software includes an interface cable and circuit relay design that controls at least PTT, and mentions Oper/Standby. I'm not clear how it would work on the LA-1K yet (haven't dug in) maybe Terry is listening and can assist?
?
"Amplifier PTT Control Adapter" document inside the HF-Auto app documentation folder.

I didn't see anything on the Palstar website except the firmware.? Do you know where it is? Or Terry's name and call sign?? Thanks, Frank On Thu, Feb 6, 2025 at 12:00?PM David Smith <dsmith@...> wrote:
