ACOM 1200S: solid-state HF and 6 m amplifier. Despite the 1200S name, the current product-page specification table, the usage text and the August 2024 user manual all give 1000 W rated output (PEP or continuous carrier, no mode limitation).
Drive power: about 40 W for rated output (the usage text and manual tune-up say under 50 W, typically 30-50 W); RF gain 14 dB ±1 dB
IMD3: better than 31 dB below rated PEP; harmonics: better than 60 dB (65 dB typically)
Input SWR below 1.2 (typically 1.1), 1.8-54 MHz; RF bypass SWR below 1.1
Output load SWR: up to 3 with proportional power reduction, up to 1.5 for full power
KEY-IN / KEY-OUT on phono (RCA) connectors
Coverage notes: 60 m 5.020-5.455 MHz, 6 m 50-54 MHz; check regional band plans
Operating temperature: -10 to +40 °C; up to 3050 m without output reduction
FCC ID 2AJXZ1200S (granted September 2017); CE
