Delivering up to 1000 W PEP output power with only 50\u201380 W of drive power, it is ideally suited for use with modern transceivers \u2013 without the need for complex adjustments or special interfaces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Simple and precise tuning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A key feature of the ACOM 1003 is its straightforward yet precise tuning process. The proprietary \u201cTrue Resistance Indicator\u201d (TRI) assists the operator in accurately setting the load impedance using a clear bar-graph display. Combined with the front-panel input attenuator, the amplifier can be tuned quickly and reproducibly without constant readjustment of the transceiver.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>No external antenna tuner required in many cases<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In many situations, an external antenna tuner is not required: the amplifier can match antennas with an SWR of up to 3 directly. This simplifies station setup and reduces additional losses in the signal path.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-50948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ACOM-1003-2-800x430.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ACOM-1003-2-800x430.png 800w, https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ACOM-1003-2-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/www.cqdx.ru\/ham\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ACOM-1003-2.png 972w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><strong>Powerful tube technology for different operating modes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ACOM 1003 uses a single ceramic-metal power triode type 3CX800A7 in grounded grid configuration. Depending on the operating mode, the user can select Class AB2 for maximum linearity, for example in SSB, or Class B for reduced plate dissipation in continuous duty modes such as digital operation. In addition, the output power can be reduced to 50% without compromising efficiency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Convenient monitoring during operation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During operation, the amplifier stands out with its user-friendly design. A two-line OLED display provides information on output power, operating status, and various selectable parameters. Automatic fan control ensures efficient cooling with minimal noise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>QSK capable and transceiver-independent<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For CW operation, the ACOM 1003 is QSK capable thanks to a virtually silent reed relay. Switching between transmit and receive is fast and reliable. The amplifier does not require any special control signals from the transceiver \u2013 a simple PTT signal (\u201cGround on TX\u201d) and RF drive power are sufficient, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of radios.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Three antenna outputs and comprehensive protection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The amplifier features three selectable antenna outputs, conveniently switchable from the front panel. Extensive protection circuits continuously monitor all key parameters and protect both the tube and the amplifier, including integrated HF arc protection at the output.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Wide-range power supply<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The integrated power supply supports a wide input voltage range from 90 to 264 V AC, allowing worldwide operation without modification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Designed for demanding stations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With its combination of high output power, ease of operation, and robust design, the ACOM 1003 is ideal for ambitious amateur radio operators as well as contest and DX stations seeking a reliable and straightforward tube amplifier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tech Data:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" class=\"data table additional-attributes\" style=\"width: 94.741%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"col label\" style=\"width: 46.0048%;\" scope=\"row\">Product Name<\/th>\n<td class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 176.755%;\" data-th=\"Product Name\">ACOM 1003<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"col label\" style=\"width: 46.0048%;\" scope=\"row\">Amplification (dB)<\/th>\n<td class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 176.755%;\" data-th=\"Amplification (dB)\">12 dB \u00b11 dB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"col label\" style=\"width: 46.0048%;\" scope=\"row\">Supported Bands<\/th>\n<td class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 176.755%;\" data-th=\"Supported Bands\">160m, 80m, 60m, 40m, 30m, 20m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"col label\" style=\"width: 46.0048%;\" scope=\"row\">Remote Control capabilities<\/th>\n<td class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 176.755%;\" data-th=\"Remote Control capabilities\">No<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"col label\" style=\"width: 46.0048%;\" scope=\"row\">Brand<\/th>\n<td class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 176.755%;\" data-th=\"Brand\">Acom<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"col label\" style=\"width: 46.0048%;\" scope=\"row\">Weight<\/th>\n<td class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 176.755%;\" data-th=\"Weight\">21 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"col label\" style=\"width: 46.0048%;\" scope=\"row\">Max.
