ACOM 2000P Commercial HF Linear Amplifiers

ACOM 2000P Commercial HF Linear Amplifiers (FCC Part 90) are the world's most advanced amplifiers designed specifically for the commercial communications market. Many of these amplifiers also see military service at stations across the globe.

These amplifiers were the first to include fully-automatic tuning and sophisticated digital-control capabilities. ACOM's revolutionary 2000P amplifiers deliver high-power RF in all modes and operate on all frequencies between 3.0 and 30 MHz with continuous coverage.

ACOM commercial/military amplifiers follow your transceiver's frequency changes automatically in far less than a single second. No special cables are required: Just a dot on CW or "Ah" on SSB is enough. Tuning is equally fast in digital modes. By completely eliminating time-consuming tune-up procedures, ACOM 2000P linear amplifiers give operators more time for exchanging important communiqués.

At the core of the ACOM 2000P is a classic HF amplifier design employing two Svetlana 4CX800A (GU74B) high-performance ceramic and metal tetrodes. ACOM coupled these tried-and-true tubes with today's most advanced digital control technology to create an amplifier with outstanding performance, features and reliability.

Measured third and fifth order IMD are typically 40dB and 45dB down, respectively. Typical harmonic emissions are as low as -55dBc (second) and below -70dBc (for third and above). Thus, the probability of harmonic channel interference, BCI or TVI is dramatically minimized.

ACOM's 2000P remote diagnostic features and modular design ease fault isolation and repair. The protection system makes damaging one of these amplifiers very difficult. Information on the 12 most recent protection events is stored in an INFO BOX for remote diagnostics via phone line, PC, or Internet.

Full break-in (QSK) is based on a built-in vacuum relay. Transmit/receive switching sequence is secured by a dedicated microprocessor. This is important for agencies, civilian or otherwise, who use modes that require lightning fast switching
