[Milsurplus] Last Call- ASB RADAR Output Meter- GONE

[J. Forster]

The Power Meter is a RF load resistor, simple vacuum diode, and RC filter.
A second channed process the Sync pulse the same way.

I am not familiar wit the Agilent unit.

Yes, I have a pretty complete ASB-5 and am essentially lacking only the
antennas and actually making up the cables.

There is no Junction Box, per say. There is a Power Control Unit. Tye dyno
you reference would be a rotary inverter to make 800 Hz, 115 V from 28
VDC, I would think.

BTW, apparently an ASB-5 manual sol on eBay a month or so ago for over
$500. Did anybody buy it?> If so, would you be willing to make it
available to copy or better scan?

Best,

-John
