AMP TX delay setting for new LA-1K
Rich McCabe
Member ✭✭✭
I just took delivery on a new Palstar LA-1K amp. I remember reading somewhere that HRO had some recommended TX delay settings and I thought I read it on this site.
Anyone remember seeing this thread or have any direction?

According the the LA-1K data, it has a vacuum relay, so it "should" have a switching time of about 8mS, perhaps 6mS. To be sure, I would ask Palstar for the specific relay switching spec. Once known, then set the TX Delay to that value. In the interm, a delay of 10mS or a bit more should be safe.

I asked for some more clarification but this was his first response.

You can set the delay in your transceiver to
anything thats convenient as the LA-1K is
RF sensing and it will key the amp only after it reads
the freq of an RF carrier

Rich, I just ordered one from HRO. Should be here Tuesday. What did you end up with on the delay? I'm running a HF-AUTO in front on my current A1000 so we'll see how that does with the LA-1K!
Thanks,

Have it at 140 because I cant stand the noisy relays of the LA-1K.

Thank you for the quick response. Looking forward to playing with it. I should have said the HF-AUTO is behind the tuner. Its physically in front of the amp on the bench but electrically behind it.0

Neil, my LA-1K is very noisy. Big heavy relay clunk. Fan is pretty noisy too. Amp works fantastic but I would consider it loud.

WOW, not my experience. I would call Palstar and speak with Paul or Mark his chief engineer0
