NEW LA-1K OWNER

 

Thanks Bob that is good to know. And yes I will check that switch!

I will likely get a 220 run into the shack after I get the amp. Just need to pick up the 10/2 wire and outlet receptacle.

To those who also replied, thanks for the information.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi Rick,

? ? ? ? I have that exact setup in my shack.? But remember to slide the switch located on the SIDE of the LA1K to 110.? Usually when delivered, the switch is indicating 220, so it's imperative to do that.? First thing out of the box.!!!? My LA1K runs perfectly fine on 110.? It takes about 30 watts of drive power to get to 800-900 watts.? I almost?exclusively use it on 160 m. and I've never tripped a breaker.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Have fun,

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Bob, W3RJP

Hello Everyone

?

I will be picking up my new LA-1K sometime early in December.

?

A few questions for current owners.

?

I presently have a dedicated 120 V line into my shack, with a 15 amp breaker.

For years I ran an Ameritron AL-80A on this circuit, up to 800+ watts at tines with no issues.

So I am wondering if the LA-1K will be fine at reduced power output (700-800 watts PEP on SSB) on that same circuit.

I will eventually get around to running 220 into the shack once I pick up some wire etc etc.

?

But for now I would like to run it off the 120 V line.

?

Does anyone foresee any problems with that?

Thanks, 73, Rick VE3PP
 

There is no issue running the LA-1K with 120v.? I ran my amp on 120v for the first week until I was able to run a dedicated 240v line to my amp.? It works well on 120v but really performs on 240v.? I do not foresee any problems as the LA-1K is designed to operate on both voltages.
