Note: If you have a new TS-590, Kenwood has issued a new firmware version that resolves issues with leading edge power spikes when transmitting that can damage an external amplifier. See the Kenwood notice here:

Other Frequently Asked Questions:

*** TUBES ***

Fact: The rumor of tubes not being available for these amplifiers is false.

We have them in stock. We have both brand new tubes and "new old stock" (NOS) matched pairs in stock, at very reasonable prices.  Currently a matched set of GU74B(4cx800) is $600 for the pair.

Are these amplifiers noisy?  These are probably the quietest amplifiers made.  The 1000 and 2000A cannot be heard even when 1 meter away.  And QSK is whisper quiet and accurate with a dedicated QSK process on board. 

The need for an external fan for full output with normal RTTY, SSB, CW, or other digital modes is not necessary.  We have the fans in stock, but it is thermally controlled and probably will not come on even in a RTTY contest.  The internal blower is quite adequate to keep these tubes cool, and each tube is monitored for its operating temperature. Acom does not recommend the external fan for normal operation.

FCC and 12/10 meters. The FCC did away with the 10m modification for RF amplifiers years ago, each one of our amps is factory set up to operate on 12/10m.

Fully Automatic at full power output every band switch every time. The ACOM 2000A is always ready to deliver full power with one of the fastest tuning and memory algorithms on the market. 

Front Panel Control.  The ACOM 1000 has a unique front panel LCD display for control and tuning, the ACOM 2000A is the only amplifier that has a remote control panel, which can sit right beside your keyboard for full visual observation of many of the amplifiers' operating parameters: the forward power, reverse power, VSWR, and alarms.   An incredible amount of information is at your fingertips.  The protection circuit alarms are also located on this handy remote control.  Put the amp out of the way, there is no reason why you need to touch it.  The Remote control also turns the amp on and off, as well as puts it into Standby.

Configuration of Mains AC Power taps. We pre-set up your AC Mains taps. Once set to 240V AC you don't ever need to change them unless you want to take it on a DX-pedition and then you will remove the transformer for transportation. The taps are set with removable solid plates that screw into place. No soldering at all.   The mains voltage is constantly monitored by the amplifier as well as HV, Screen voltage, and filament voltage.  If any voltage falls out of the operating parameters, the amp will warn you and shut itself down if necessary.

QC (Bird type) RF Input and Output Connectors. Nope, Acom doesn't have them. Instead they use heavy duty SO239 connectors which are soldered to the RF connections. 

Factory US Service and Support is done by Array Solutions right here in our RF Lab. We are certified by the ACOM factory to perform all repairs to the component level.  The reliability of the ACOM amplifiers are well known and especially the ACOM 2000A which has been proven since it was introduced in 1998. 

High Historical Trade In Value.  Any check of the well known classified ad websites will prove that the ACOM 2000A and 1000 amplifiers have a historically high value.  Indeed a recent sale of a 12 year old ACOM 2000A went  for USD $5,000. 

What is the Warranty Policy?   

Solid product backed by a solid warranty.

Standard Two-Year Return-to-Factory (RTF) Warranty

ACOM stands behind all its products with a two-year warranty. If your ACOM product fails at any time during the coverage period, ACOM will repair or replace the unit. Your only responsibility is prepaid shipping back to Array Solutions' service center. Warranty coverage for tubes is one year.
 

Where can I get a copy of the full specifications and a copy of the operators manual?

You can review the manuals and specifications here on the Official ACOM website:

Who will repair the amplifier if I have a problem?

Array Solutions is an official ACOM repair center. These amplifiers are built to high quality standards and will last a lifetime.  But occasionally, there may be a problem. Many times we can resolve the problem working with you on the phone, and even sending you a part to replace if you're capable of doing the work yourself.

Can I have a set of Schematics for my amplifier?  Yes, we can prepare you a CD with schematics, and hundreds of pictures and technical notes. 

Is the ACOM 2000A truly a full power auto tune amplifier, or do I have to tweak it to achieve full power?  No Tweaking ever.  The tuning algorithm is fast and accurate. It never needs "touching up."
