Doug,
Here's what I've gleaned on the 1010
The 1010 is a different beastie from the 1000. It isn't just a 1000
without 6M.
1) takes more drive for full output.
2) full output at least a few hundred watts less. (I also believe the
transformer is not has hefty)
3) an electronicly controlled bias circuit
4) The RF deck is different, it doesn't have the extra shielding the
1000 has. This is both a plus (if you change tubes) and a potential
negative.
It is a good amp for countries with an enforced 400 W power limit.
Unfortunately I can't comment on the amp key circuit or QSK.

Same problem here finding out anything about sales in North America. All I
get is a photo of the Acom 1010 and nothing else. A few years ago they were
being sold by a company in Boston then K6ND now it appears their sales in NA
are in limbo. That type of instability scares me. I am sure we will get some
needed feedback on my comments. That is why I am blunt with my comments.
Need answers based upon facts not guess work.

Who sells the Acom 1010? Can't find any dealers with a google search.
Sure looks nice.

Dunno about the 1010 but the ACOM 1000 works beautifully with my K3 on
full
QSK. I think but am not sure that the 1010 is just a recent update of the
1000. At any rate, I can't imagine them regressing. The 1000 exudes
quality.
For a manually tuned, not-quite-full power amp with a warmup cycle, it's
hard to beat. Very quiet, too.

I ordered a K3 last week. I built my K2 about 8 years ago and operate it
daily. I also have a Ten Tec Omni 6+ and a Hercules II amplifier. I
enjoy
the Ten Tec transceiver and amplifier when used in contests and chasing
DX.
The purpose of this email is to solicit (direct and reflector) input
from
the Elecraft community about a new amplifier that I can use with the K2
and
K3. I also see that Array Solutions has a QSK box which might be an
option.
The QSK box from Array Solutions (they call it QSK Master) would be a
way to
integrate my Elecraft rigs with my Henry amplifier as well as the
smaller
Hercules II. I have thought about the Acom 1010 but I can not determine
from
the Internet whether that amplifier really has QSK. I have also
considered
the smaller 600 to 700 watt Tokyo Hy-power amps.
I have not followed the saga of the Elecraft amps so maybe somebody can
apprise me of where that has gone.
Your advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I love QSK. I
realize some do not.
