ACOM 2000SW Antenna Switch
|
The ACOM 2000SW is a rugged, high-performance coaxial antenna switch for
commercial and amateur applications. The switch is a single-pole,
10-position coaxial design, intended to quickly and automatically select
from multiple antennas or other RF loads.
The switch can handle up to
5kW and operate at VSWR as high as 3:1 (at reduced power). The unit is
designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions. An advanced
mechanical design shields the 2000SW internal circuitry and high-speed
relays from the elements. The switch is fully protected against a variety of adverse
conditions including antenna mismatch, hot-switching and lightning—the
ACOM 2000SW is the ideal solution for safe remote switching of multiple
antennas.
The pictures on the right show an unmounted switch and a tower-mounted
switch.

ACOM 2000S Switch Controller
|
The ACOM 2000S is a digital control unit designed to provide fully
automatic antenna switching capabilities.
When used in combination with
the ACOM 2000SW and the ACOM 2000A Automatic HF Linear Amplifier,
antenna selection information generated by the ACOM 2000A is
communicated to the 2000S. The 2000S displays the currently selected
antenna and drives the control signals needed to operate the
remotely-located ACOM 2000SW.

In addition to the ACOM 2000A control port, the 2000S includes a
general-purpose RS232 control port. This port can be driven by a PC,
allowing the 2000S/2000SW combination to be used in environments where
computer-controlled switching of multiple antennas is required.
Software is available for automatic tuning of all antennas on all band
segments when using the 2000S and 2000SW with the 2000A. This DOS
software is written to support the Yaesu FT-1000MP as the
computer-controlled signal source. It also requires a special set of
cables. Contact ACOM for more details.
