Acom 1010 Linear Amplifier 700 Watts PeP 10-160 Meters

- Ease of use. The value indicator Load plate circuit "True Resistance Indicator" (TRI) is an innovation ACOM which allows for fast and precise agreement, typically in less than 10 seconds. The self-reset function returns the amplifier to operating mode "OPERATE" automatically, after the intervention of any of the protections, saving the operator time, effectively avoiding manual operations restoration.

- No external antenna tuner is required at least as long as the antenna has a VSWR equal to or lower than 3:1. The amplifier performs the functions of an antenna tuner, allowing for quick changes antenna and to use a broad frequency spectrum. This amp is together user-friendly and with self-monitoring functions. It was designed to Withstand up to 240W of reflected power, up to 100 milliseconds, without damage overdrive ("queue" of RF after releasing the PTT or the (KEY) button), e also operator agreement errors. It is capable of operating with more than half of its rated output power with just 75% of the rated grid value. So long as can tolerate voltage "dips" (down to zero for 10 milliseconds) and 15% overvoltages network, it is particularly suitable for use in laptops powered by groups generators, therefore particularly for field days and DXpeditions.

- Top LED light bar detects always the peak incident power while the lower one is for reading the power reflected. LED indicators warn of abnormal operating conditions for grid 1, grid 2, and plate parameters.

- Two antenna outputs are selectable from front panel of the amplifier.

- Antenna agreement can be obtained in less than 10 seconds and at a quarter of the rated output power, so as to reduce the risk of interference with other stations and safety risks of the components of the amplifier itself. The amplifier does not require no special interface to operate with the transceiver, it only needs of the "ground on TX" signal and 60 W RF input power to deliver full output power.

- The input broadband tuning circuit presents an excellent load characteristic for the transceiver that drives it, from 1.8MHz to 30MHz.

- Single valve Svetlana 4CX800A (GU74B), High performance ceramic-metal tetrode with a plate dissipation of 600W (forced air cooling, grid driven), is used to obtain maximum efficiency. The Acom 1010 offers continuous monitoring and protections for plate and grid currents. The polarization optimization circuit minimizes heat dissipation in the valve, ensuring a long operating life. The design criteria used for the high voltage power supply stage guarantee the elimination of the dangerous transient when switching on, avoiding repercussions on other mains powered devices. Plus the amplifier can be configured for any of the 8 possible mains voltages, between 100 and 240 V, 50 or 60 Hz. The amplifier can be supplied with 10 and 12 meter bands disabled, as required by the FCC, for US users. Contact your dealer to enable those bands.
