DE-2000 DEE Ultimate Meter swr watt meter

Post by HOUND DOG »

Anyone have one of these?..... I picked one up without a plug-in power supply. The meter has 7 light bulbs inside. I need to know what size plug-in power supply came with these so I can order a replacement.
Thanks

Not sure what you have, maybe a pic of it and one of the tag so we can look it up.

Most use a 12v wall wart but I've found some make noise so I have all my 12v stuff wired to a small 3a PS.

yeah, i cant seem to get a photo of my meter to upload to this page. Oh well.
The DE-2000 was also made in a DE-1000 model. Some say it was the original company before Dosy was born. Its a very cool looking, very well built and very large(a foot long) meter similar shape of a Dosy 3001 but only longer. Instead of having three meters on it like the Dosy 3001, the DEE 2000 has one large 2000 watt meter on it. It also has a built in audio board with volume control so you can plug in your headphones which works great! You may find a pic by searching for it on ebay since I just bought it this week, it may still be visible.
I'm now looking into swapping out the (7)-12v bulbs for a 12v LED light strip which will be much cooler than the hot bulbs.
UPDATE: SOMEONE JUST POSTED A VERY SIMILAR BRAND NEW DEE METER ON EBAY BUT THAT ONE IS FOR HAM BANDS. MINE LOOKS THE SAME BUT ONLY FOR 11 METERS.

It looks like a Dosy clone, the one on the auction site is a 2002. Changing out the bulbs for LED's shouldn't be any problem, get the flat ended ones, they are more of a flood lite the round ones are more a beam, if you have to scuff them up with some fine sandpaper, that will broaden the lite even more.
