BIRD DIGITAL RF WATTMETER #DPM5000 ~ MINT CONDITION

I am selling a Bird Electronics DPM-5000 RF Watt Meter with all of the accessories pictured, and all in mint condition. (Actual Photos Supplied)    This unit has resided on the shelf almost from the date of purchase. It looks and operates as new..!

As seen in the included pictures, you are getting all of the accessories anyone would need to make commercial quality measurements from 2-30 MHz, 100-250 MHz, 400-960 MHz displaying Forward Power, Reflected Power, and VSWR all on one display, and all items protected by the Bird/Pelican waterproof, nearly indestructible carry case.  Additional elements are available from Bird Electronics to expand the frequency and wattage coverage.

To fully acquaint yourself with this superb piece of test equipment prior to purchase, I will be happy to email to you the User's / Instruction Manual in Adobe Acrobat pdf format upon request.

This is a commercial grade unit, and would be a great addition to any service kit for Radio or Television Stations, Cell Tower Servicing, Commercial Radio Repair, shops servicing Mobile, Marine or Aircraft equipment, etc., etc.., or any Amateur Radio Station that desires this level of accuracy and convenience.

I have no desire to make any $$ on shipping.  For USA buyers, I can take the unit to the UPS Store or Fed-Ex Store, and you can arrange with them the method of shipment, and pay them directly with your credit card, or I can do it for you.

For buyers out of the country, you can arrange for the shipping method of your choice, and pay your shipper directly if you choose.  That way you will be assured that they have seen the product, have packed it to their satisfaction, and have applied the desired no hassle insurance.  The calculated eBay shipping cost may or may not be accurate (approximately 9.5 lbs - and does not include insurance), but if you are paying the shipper the difference directly (via telephone and credit card), you'll know the cost is correct.  Should you wish me to pre-pay the shipping, that can be arranged after the purchase is completed, by calling or emailing me and paying, separately any involved costs.  Payment must be made within 2 days of purchase via PayPal.

As this equipment is technically used, no warranty is expressed or implied, and the product is sold AS-IS.  However, be assured that it will leave here with all pieces in perfect working order.  Packed in the included Pelican case, a truck could probably run over it without any damage to the contents.

I will be happy to speak with or correspond with any prospective buyers. I may be reached by telephone at 1-253-891-8000, or email to w7xc@arrl.net or scott_douglas@comcast.net
