ACOM 1010: 700 W PEP tube amplifier covering 160-10 m only (no 6 m).
Drive power: 50-70 W for rated output (the usage text says under 60 W, or 60 W to operate at full output); RF gain about 11 dB, response flat within 1 dB
Tube: from 1 January 2024 a single ACOM 4CX800A (800 W plate dissipation, forced air); until the end of 2023 a Svetlana GU74B (4CX800A)
IMD: better than 35 dB below rated output; harmonics: better than 50 dB; hum and buzz: better than 40 dB below rated output or 1% AM
Input SWR below 1.3, 1.8-30 MHz; bypass SWR below 1.1 (200 W maximum)
Withstands up to 240 W reflected power and 100 ms drive spikes
Coverage notes: official product-page band list includes 60 m at 5.020-5.455 MHz; no 6 m. The July 2023 user manual says "all amateur bands in the 1.8-29.7 MHz frequency range" without a band-by-band list and does not mention 60 m by name.
FCC ID SRRA1010 (granted April 2005); CE
