1.3. Equipment Supplied
The ACOM 1000 amplifier and this User's Manual are shipped in a cardboard carton.
1.4. Features
• Easy to operate
The TRI (True Resistance Indicator) is a powerful tuning aid which, together with the automatically
controlled input attenuator, helps the operator to quickly and precisely match antennas (5-10 seconds
typically). The auto-operate function (when enabled) maintains the amplifier in OPERATE mode for
you, thus saving manual operations and time.
• No antenna tuner needed
No heavy outboard antenna tuners required for antenna SWR up to 3:1 (and higher on some bands).
Your amplifier will perform the functions of an antenna tuner, thus enabling you to change antennas
faster and use them over a wider frequency range (saving tuning time).
• User-friendly and durable
An amplifier that is both user-friendly, and that looks after itself. It is designed to safely withstand up
to 300 W reflected power, up to 100 milliseconds duration of drive spikes, drive RF "tails" after a PTT
or KEY release, operator's inadvertent tuning errors etc. It would also not cease to function with a
"soft" AC line and would deliver more than half power at only 75% of nominal mains voltage. It would
withstand up to 10 milliseconds (down to zero) voltage drops, and up to +15% line voltage spikes,
which is important particularly when used at field days, DXpeditions, and other portable events.
• OLED comment display
All amplifier status indications are explained via detailed text displayed on the dot matrix display
OLED. The upper-line's strip on the OLED always reads peak forward power. LED indicators are
provided for OPERATE, attenuation-on, and ON/OFF conditions.
