ACOM 2000A (1500W, 160-10m) PRIS 43900,00 KR
The ACOM
2000A Automatic HF Linear Amplifier is the world's most advanced HF amplifier
designed for amateur use. The ACOM 2000A is the first amateur HF amplifier to
include both fully automatic tuning and sophisticated digital control
capabilities. This revolutionary new amplifier delivers maximum legal power in
all modes and operates on all HF amateur bands.
The ACOM 2000A represents a major advance in the
state-of-the-art in HF amplifier design. It changes forever the way radio
amateurs employ HF power amplifiers in their stations.
·
Instantaneous,
automatic tuning makes slow, cumbersome band changes a thing of the past.
·
A built-in,
wide-range antenna tuner matches loads with high VSWR (up to 3:1), often
eliminating the cost and complexity of an external, high-power
antenna tuner.
·
RS-232 digital
control permits full integration into any computer-driven station
configuration.
·
Advanced protection
circuits ensure amplifier safety under every potential combination of operating
conditions.
·
Remote diagnostic
features and modular design ease fault isolation and repair
At the core of the ACOM 2000A is a classic HF
amplifier design, employing two Svetlana 4CX800A (GU74B) high performance
ceramic metal tetrodes operating in a grid-driven
configuration. This design was chosen for its inherent stability and extremely
low production of spurious emissions. ACOM coupled this tried-and-true
configuration with today’s most advanced digital control technology to create
an amplifier with outstanding performance, features and reliability.
Grid-driven tetrodes,
cathode negative feedback, excellent transceiver loading (typically below 1.2:1
input VSWR), and regulated SG voltage result in an extremely low distorted
output. Measured typical IMD are - 40dB (3-rd order) and - 45dB (5-th order).
Classical Pi-L network, all-air coils (no ferrite), and carefully designed
layout of the output tank offer typical harmonic emissions as low as - 55dBc
(second) and below - 70dBc (third and above). Thus, probability of QRM, BCI or
TVI is dramatically minimized.
Only the Remote Control
Unit needs to be placed near the operator. The main unit can be installed up to
The protection system
makes damaging the amplifier a difficult job. Information on the 12 most recent
protection trips is stored in an INFO BOX for remote diagnostics via phone
line, PC, and Internet.
All functions are
accessible from a PC via RS232 serial port. Local network may include
more than one amplifier / antenna unit set working in a system.
The ACOM 2000A offer protection
against all tubes voltages and currents, supply voltages, overheating,
overdrive, insufficient flow of cooling air, internal and external RF arcs (in
the amplifier, antenna selector, tuner or antennas), T/R sequencing, antenna
relay contact hot switching, antenna matching quality, reflected power, stored
data, inrush power-on current, and cover interlock for operator
The automatic tuning
features in the ACOM 2000A represent a real breakthrough in HF amplifier
design. Never think about an ATU for VSWR up to 3:1 (2:1 on
By completely eliminating
time-consuming tune-up procedures, the ACOM 2000A has gives contesters a real
edge. It is now possible to change bands without a moment’s thought. You can
work every multiplier spotted using software point-and-shoot – regardless of
band. And always know the amp is properly tuned and operating safely. The
amplifier follows your transceiver's band and frequency automatically in less
than a second. No special cables are required. Just a dot on
CW or "Ah" on SSB are enough.
The ACOM 2000A breaks every
amateur band into multiple frequency segments. The user can store up to ten
(10) sets of tuning adjustments for every frequency segment - allowing
individual settings for multiple antennas on each band. VSWR can increase
considerably when an antenna is operated away from its resonant frequency.
Unlike other amplifiers on the market today, the ACOM 2000 output matching
network allows the amplifier to operate at full power, even with VSWR as high
as 3:1 (2:1 on 160m).
Microprocessor control
improves performance and makes possible a wide range of new, advanced features.

Acom 1010 (700W, 160-10m, compact) PRIS 13450,00 KR
The latest ACOM1010, budget
160-10m small and lightweight linear amplifier, for fixed or DXpedition and Field Day operations.
Easy
operation.
The plate-load True Resistance Indicator (TRI) is an ACOM innovation that
provides quick and precise tuning, typically in less than 10 seconds. The
auto-operate function will return the amplifier to the OPERATE mode
automatically after each protection trip, saving time and avoiding manual
switching.
No external antenna
tuner is required
as long as the antenna VSWR is 3:1 or lower. The amplifier will perform the
functions of an antenna tuner, enabling you to change antennas faster and use
them over wide frequency ranges.
This amplifier is both user-friendly
and self-monitoring. It is designed to safely withstand up to 240 W of
reflected power, up to 100 milliseconds of drive spikes (RF “tails” after a PTT
or KEY release), and even operator tuning errors. It is also capable of operating
at more than half its designed output power at only 75% of nominal line (mains)
voltage. Because it can tolerate deep voltage drops (down to zero for 10
milliseconds) and 15% line voltage spikes, it is particularly suited for use in
portable environments, such as field days and DXpeditions.
The upper LED bar-graph always
reads peak forward power while the lower LED bar-graph is for the reflected
power. LED warning indicators are provided for abnormal conditions of grid 1,
grid 2, and plate parameters.
Two antenna outputs are selectable on the front panel of
the amplifier.
Antenna matching can be achieved in less than 10 seconds
and at a quarter of nominal output power, which produces lower risk of interference
to other stations and greater safety to the amplifier components.
The amplifier operates without special signaling from the transceiver; it needs only “ground on
TX” and 60 W RF drive power to operate at full output power.
Broadband input matching circuitry offers excellent loading
characteristics for the driving transceiver, from 1.8MHz to 30MHz.
A single Svetlana 4CX800A (GU74B)
high-performance ceramic-metal tetrode with plate
dissipation of 800W (forced air cooling, grid-driven) is used for maximum
efficiency.
The Acom 1010
offer permanent monitoring and protection of the plate and grids currents. The
Bias Optimizer minimizes heat dissipated by the tube, assuring tube longevity.
Design of the high-voltage power supply eliminates the danger of turn-on
transients affecting sensitive devices connected to the same line (mains)
circuit. Moreover, the amplifier can be configured to accommodate any of 8
nominal line voltages between 100 and 240 V, 50 or 60 Hz.
The amplifier can be shipped with 10 and
