ACOM 2S1 | Automatic XCVR Commutator

ACOM 2S1 | Automatic XCVR Commutator


Usage
The ACOM 2S1 is a TX/RX commutator that allows two transceivers to use a common load. It guards each transceiver's input while the other transceiver transmits, prevents simultaneous transmission, and allows simultaneous reception.

Easy to use
ACOM 2S1 commutator is a universal device that can be integrated into any radio system. For example, ACOM 2S1 may be used to commutate an antenna only.

Historically, ACOM 2S1 was designed to complete the ACOM 2000A automatic HF linear amplifier, together with ACOM 2000S automatic antenna selector plus ACOM 2000SW remote antenna switch.

Automatic operation
Operation is fully automatic and the full break-in (QSK) mode in CW is standard.

Integrated power supply
There is no need of external power supply device. The ACOM 2S1 uses power supply directly from the transceiver (11-14 VDC / 30 mA power supply).

Protections

  • One transceiver's input is grounded while the other transceiver transmits;
  • Simultaneous transmission is prevented;
  • T/R sequencing and RF relay contacts are continuously monitored.
