of the ACOM 1010 HF linear amplifier.
The ACOM 1010 is a self-contained linear amplifier that covers all amateur bands, from 1.8 through
29.7 MHz. It provides over 700 W PEP of output power (or 500 W in continuous-duty operation) with less
than 60 W of drive. The amplifier is designed to tolerate SWR levels of up to 3:1 throughout its operating
range, and tuning is simplified by ACOM's exclusive True Resistance Indicator (TRI). Also, a built-in antenna
selector switch with two outputs is included to provide instant choice of antennas. Importantly, a variety of
system parameters are continuously monitored and available to the operator to assure safe and efficient
amplifier operation.
