REQUIRED CONNECTIONS

Required connections are: RF IN, RF OUT and PTT. 

The phono input PTT can be activated by any transceiver with a PTT 
cable from the LA-1K to the transceiver (not supplied)

.  When PTT is 

grounded 

TX

 is displayed and the LA-1K is ready to transmit.

NOTE: 

30M is NOT a separate band on the 

LA-1K.  When the band voltage drops to 
zero, the LA-1K correctly switches to 20M.
This allows operation on the 30M band but 
without “

DIRECT KEYING

”  due to cable 

detection by checking for voltage on ICOM 
band data input.  30M is limited to 200W 
and ampli  er operation is not normally 
required on this band.
