of the ACOM 2020S solid-state linear power amplifier.
The ACOM 2020S is a state-of-the art 1500 W heavy-duty, solid-state linear amplifier, covering all amateur
bands from 1.8 to 54 MHz.
The amplifier employs two powerful modules in power splitting/combining technique which is well time-
proven in high-power commercial applications to provide sufficient output headroom. Thanks to input and
output ports isolation from each other, the intermodulation is reduced, and SWR toughness, self-excitation
resistance, and reliability are improved.
It features a Remote Control Unit model R05 (abbr. RCU hereinafter) with the operating information shown
on a multi-functional, high resolution color touch screen. All indicators and controls (except the primary
mains switch and power indicator) are accessible via the touch screen RCU, as well as, all command input to
the RCU is menu-driven.
As standard, the ACOM 2020S is equipped with Ethernet interface facilitating its usage in Remotely
Operated Stations.
