Where can I buy a DME?
Bizarre question, I know.........
My boss just asked me where we can purchase a DME (ground station). I didn't know.
And how much would it cost?

Sorry about the confusion regarding the ground/air issue

Narco DME 890 - around £1800(inc VAT) plus fitting!! Assuming that you mean a DME for the ac rather than an aerodrome DME!! Look on the back of Pilot for a typical advert. Alternatively, contact an expert such as the excellent RGV Aviation at Staverton for a quote.

In case you want the ground Nav aid, you need a minimum of 3000 square meters and a good 380 Volts supply. Thomson CSF of France will oblige for less than a Million US$ .

Problem solved and a deal of flexibility gained!! Guest

Hi Mustafa,
we already have GPS fitted to our fleet and numerous other forms of navigation, but we also have our own airport and, in the interests of safety and general facilities improvement, we would like to have full time DME to go with our NDB.

No luck after searching the net for half an hour! Cardion (in the US) is one posssibility, but they don't seem to have a website. I am sure there are a few other manufacturers (some of the big names like GEC, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon come to mind, but their websites are no help).
I suggest you call your country's aviation regulatory organization's procurement people and ask them for contact information at the manufacturers. I suspect a DME ground station will be a big ticket item (>>$25K).

It might be worth emailing [email protected] - he is a helluva helpful guy.
PS - wish somebody would replace OUR DME!
