About ACOM 1500 - HF + 6M 1500w amplifier

The Acom 1500 is a powerhouse, but user friendly Linear Amplifier, using a single 4CX1000A ceramic and metal radial beam tetrode tube.

The TRI is a powerful tuning aid that, together with the automatically controlled input attenuator, helps the operator to quickly and precisely match the antenna impedance to the optimum tube load impedance (5-10 seconds typically). The auto-operate function (when enabled) maintains the amplifier in the OPERATE mode for you, thus avoiding unnecessary manual operations.

No heavy outboard antenna tuners required for antenna. Your amplifier will enable you to change antennas virtually instantaneously and allow you to use your antennas over wider frequency ranges.

An amplifier that is both user-friendly and that looks after itself.  It is designed to safely withstand up to 300W 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. The amplifier also will not cease to function with a "soft" AC mains and will deliver more than half power at only 85% of nominal mains voltage. It can withstand voltage drops (down to zero Volts) for up to 10 milliseconds and can tolerate 15% mains voltage spikes.

All amplifier status indications are explained via detailed text displayed on the dot matrix, high brightness vacuum fluorescent display (VFD).  The upper line on the VFD always reads peak forward power.  LED indicators are provided for OPERATE mode, attenuation-on, transmit, selected antenna output , and ON/OFF conditions.

Three antenna outputs are selectable using a push-button on the front panel.

DELIVERY

We aim to dispatch all parcels within 24hrs. We are normally able to dispatch parcels SAME DAY where orders are received before 2.00pm Monday to Friday.

 

Whilst we try our best to ship same day, we cannot guarantee delivery time. You will however receive tracking details as soon as your order has been processed.

 

Please note that we do not process orders over the weekend, so orders placed after 2pm on Friday will not ship until Monday.

 

Please allow an extra processing day for international orders to enable us to complete export/import custom clearance declarations.
