Acom 1000 Linear Amplifier USED | 12 Months Warranty
The ACOM 1000 is a high-performance amplifier designed for ham radio enthusiasts. It delivers a robust 1000 watts across all bands from 160 to 6 meters. One of its standout features is the plate-load True Resistance Indicator (TRI), an efficient tuning aid. Combined with an automatically controlled input attenuator, this allows operators to match antennas quickly, typically within 5 to 10 seconds. The auto-operate function further enhances usability by keeping the amplifier in OPERATE mode, minimizing the need for manual adjustments.
In addition to its ease of operation, the ACOM 1000 eliminates the need for separate antenna tuners, as it can handle a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of up to 3:1. This capability allows users to switch antennas more rapidly and utilize a broader frequency range without extensive tuning. The amplifier is built to withstand various operational challenges, including up to 500W of reflected power and short-duration drive spikes, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding conditions such as field days and expeditions.
The ACOM 1000 also features a user-friendly interface with a back-lit LCD that displays text messages, 12 operational parameters, and a peak-reading PEP meter. LED indicators provide clear status updates for OPERATE, attenuator, and power conditions. Maintenance is simplified by storing internal status signatures in nonvolatile memory, allowing for easy diagnostics of auto-protection trips. With its virtually silent QSK operation, broadband input matching, and robust tube protection mechanisms, the ACOM 1000 stands out as a dependable choice for amateur radio operators seeking efficiency and performance.
