WARNING -- Any other EBay listing as "NEW" in factory wrapping is likely misleading. Units are more likely MILITARY Surplus wrapped not in original factory packaging, but in Army Depot Tobyhanna packaging after calibration and refurbishment. JUST as these units are. Use caution when purchasing these excellent signal generators as new. They were originally manufactured from 1981 thru 1984 Wavetek became Willtek Communications GmbH. www.willtek.com Then Fluke acquires Wavetek product lines from WCG in January 2000 with plan to use FLUKE badging thereafter. See company history at http://www.radiomuseum.org/dsp_hersteller_detail.cfm?company_id=7620 CONCLUSION: VERY UNLIKELY ANYONE actually has a new unit for sale, and if Military Surplus they likely came from Tobyhanna Army Depot after refurbishment and calibration -- same as my units. Compare commercial Refurbished prices trending $499 http://www.recycledgoods.com/wavetek-3001-signal-generator-1mhz-to-520mhz.html Here is a post from one of my first buyers: QUOTE FROM 47people (314) "WOW, it is like brand new!!! Almost right on in levels and freq. I would swear it was never used. It has a little noise riding on the sine wave, but I haven't used this model in over 25 years and O scopes then had no bandwidth, so I cannot say it is abnormal. Wish I could buy another. Thank you!!!!! ----Bill" Calibrated by Tobbyhanna Army Depot in late 2012, HOWEVER, May still require tuning. I've been advised by one of my buyers: QUOTE FROM 2014grvass "Due to component aging and other factors, it is expected that these devices will need frequent calibration to provide reliable testing measurements.

It features internal 400 and 1000 Hz modulation tones. AM modulation range is 0 to 90%, FM deviation is variable from 0 to 10 & 0 to 100 KHz. The calibrated RF output can be varied from +13 to -137 dbm (1 v rms to .03 uv rms) with 50 watts of reverse power protection. There are vernier controls for frequency and output level, with a front-panel meter for reading output levels. It measures 12" wide x 5.25" high x 14" deep and weighs 24 lbs.

The output can be amplitude or frequency modulated, and the level can be set between +13 and - 137 dBm. The frequency of the instrument is set via 6 front-panel Lever/Indicator switches which yield a resolution of 1 kHz. In addition, remote frequency programmability is standard. The accuracy of the instrument is based on a crystal controlled oscillator that serves as a stable frequency reference that enables the instrument to provide high stability signals to an accuracy of 0.001% over its specified frequency range. This accuracy includes possible errors due to short term drift, long term drift, incidental FM, and variations due to line voltage changes and temperature changes. With the FREQUENCY VERNIER out of the CAL position, the frequency is accurate to 0.001% ±10 kHz. The instrument also features both internal and external amplitude and frequency modulation capabilities. Internal modulation frequencies of 400 Hz and 1 kHz are standard. In the FM mode of operation, peak deviations to 100 kHz are attainable. In the AM mode, amplitude modulation to 90% is attainable. With the MODULATION MODE switch in the AM position and the MODULATION FREQUENCY switch in the DC position, the output amplitude can be varied by the MODULATION FM/AM control. This provides a reference attenuator for variation of signal level around a specific point of interest. This operation can also enable the user to obtain greater than 20 milliwatts of power over portions of the band. The frequency can also be continuously varied with this control over a 100 kHz range. The output power is indicated on a front-panel meter calibrated in both dBm and VRMS. A fifteen-position, 10 db/step Attenuator used in conjunction with an 11 dB VERNIER control provides the user with a range of +13 dBm to -137 dBm. The calibrated output of the instrument is leveled to within ±0.75 dB across the complete frequency range of the instrument. Reverse power protection is provided.
