On offer is a Heathkit HM-15 reflected power [VSWR] meter, which probably dates from the 1960s.

The reflected power meter measures about 4.50 inches [including the controls & sockets] x 9.00 inches x 3.00 inches. There are SO-239 input and output sockets mounted on the back of the casing; on the front panel is a forward / reverse selector switch, a sensitivity control and a calibrated moving coil meter. These instruments were offered by Heathkit as both kits for home construction and ready built products.

I know little more about this or even if it works and must stress that it is sold 'as seen' and totally untested. I have, however, removed the cover and photographed the inside so that the buyer can see what they are bidding for.

This was amongst the contents of the workshop of an engineer and 'silent key' radio amateur, who had been involved in many aspects of amateur, military and professional wireless over many years. I do not have the time or facilities to test it fully, so it is being offered as 'sold as seen’ with the eBay listing as 'For parts or not working', without guarantee or returns, in order to comply with eBay’s terms and conditions. 

There is much free information about these on the internet, but I do, however, have a pdf copy of the manual which I will be happy to share with the buyer if requested. This reflected power meter will appeal to radio amateurs, home constructors, experimenters and collectors of vintage Heathkit products, and would enhance the benches of period style or modern workshop settings.

Condition and description can better be judged from the photographs which are of the actual reflected power meter on offer for sale.

This has been priced to sell, without reserve.
