EBAY ITEM# CHANGED: due to their error relisted under a new item#: 
330024441908
HP/AGILENT 83525A (10MHz-8.4GHz) RFplugin (eg HP8350A/B, etc. SWEEP 
OSCILLATORS) - RF/Microwave, near-NEW (WORKING), CALIBRATED in 2005. 
Warranty.

Do NOT reply on Newsgroup, if email: remove "death2spammers" strings in my 
address (repeated twice).  Price $899 but PLEASE do check with Ebay listing 
first as I might revise it down (but not up - everyone else selling for 
$950-1000, yet I want tobe done QUICK), shipping from Amplitech, Inc., New 
York, USA

Posted on Ebay, item#  330024441908.  Goto www.ebay.com and enter 
"330024441908" (without quotation marks) into search window (or item#, 
etc.); BUY NOW OPTION is AVAILABLE, i.e. NO need to wait for Auction end 
($799 or revised down).  Description is there (on Ebay), copied down here 
for your convenience, BUT to see ALL-SIDES PICTURES/etc do check that Ebay 
listing.  Best done via Ebay  - SAFE for you/me (my feedback is 100% 
positive there & 10+ years on Newsgroups), if you're not into Ebay and
unless a bid already placed, I can take it off and sell outside Ebay.

Description copied here (see pictures on Ebay):

Concise description as you can GET DETAILED 
DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONs/MANUAL at AGILENT website: 
ww.agilent.com  ->search->enter->"83525A", or search for 8350A, 8350B, etc. 
as entire HP 8350 mainframes series takes these plugins.  For your 
convenience two main specs are repeated here:
Frequency range is 10MHz - 8.4GHz, max. level output 20 mW,+/-1.5dB, 
standard front in/outs, plus extra on backside (installed OPTIONS?): 
external MKR, RFout, PulseIn, ExtALC, plus a mysterious coax input I never 
used.  Was controlled via HPIB/GPIB.

1. CONDITION is near-NEW, photo may show a dusty spot - can be wiped off 
with mere towel (made photos in a hurry because late @work, 5PM).  PULLED 
FROM WORKING ENVIRONMENT at AMPLITECH, Inc. (www.amplitechinc.com), one of 
the best-known RF/Microwave companies - a spin off of Miteq, Inc.  Stored 
gently in our environmentally-controlled lab, since we upgraded to 26.5 GHz 
plugin.
REASON for selling - you look at our website, products go upto 40GHz (65GHz 
with waveguides) - became imperative to buy a different plugin in 2004 and 
sell this.  Used for MILITARY & aircraft amplifiers testing until year 2004, 
assure you 100% working unit (idle).  Rather get money than idle (to use 
that money for NetworkAnalyzer parts, that we need more than Sweeper parts).

2. CALIBRATION: expired in early 2006 - didn't need to calibrate an idle 
unit.  Calibration may still be valid, but if you wish to refresh - 
calibrate yourself.  If you wish ME to calibrate, it's not cost-effective, I 
might charge $250+ extra as it's a hassle to remove our 26.5GHz, calibrate 
this 8.4Ghz, then restore our plugin; so email me what you want.  Best if 
you calibrate yourself.

3. As mentioned above, docs/specs/manuals are at Agilent website.  People 
who buy Test Equipment are professionals/engineers - know specific model#, 
specs, or can quickly locate them.  HP 8350A/B/etc are one of the most 
widely used legacy RF/microwave oscillators/sweepers/generators whose 
mainframes are designed to use such plugins.  Thus often supported in modern 
Automated test Equipment software (HPIB, GPIB), multiple companies I worked 
for supported this unit in ATE software.  Modern Agilent Sweepers offer this 
unit backward compatibility.  For example, we controlled this 83525A plugin 
in HP8350A/B mainframe via GPIB (aka HPIB, IEE488) using ARKRF's software 
AUTOLAB, but any other will work.
Could be also a nice secondary/backup Plugin for you.
