No Power out


 

My amp was working perfectly - It is less than a year old.? I had to take down my station for a window repair and I put it back together and now have no power out from it. All seems to be connected - FTdx power out to LA1k - ALC to ALC. The amp sees the FTdx? - in that it shows power as 100 watts - but does not show any more.? I am using the HF-Auto tuner.? Any thoughts?

I personally would unplug the line from the FTDX and just short the TX line to the amp while transmitting. See if the amp kicks in then.

Same thing here just this week, both my bonehead doings:

1) ?Rearranging cables, I didn’t get the PTT plug pushed back into the phono jack on the back of the amp far enough.

2) ?I use a QSK-2500 electronic T/R switch to make the LA-1K fully QSK. ?But you have to remember to turn the darn thing on! ?It’s nestled between power supplies (4) and when my feeble brain is thinking about something else, I’ve been known to overlook that step which results in an anxious moment or two wondering what happened to the amp.?
