It pairs a rugged, ultra-lightweight, battery-operated design with synthesizer-based measurement, providing complete freedom from AC/DC power requirements so users can locate, identify, record, and solve communication-system problems quickly. Covering the 100 kHz to 3.0 GHz frequency range, it is positioned for engineers and technicians who install, maintain, or troubleshoot modern wireless communication systems in the field without sacrificing measurement accuracy. The MS2711A is suited to radio communications work that involves monitoring signals and sources of interference in field environments. Its stated testing capabilities include detection of signal interference, monitoring of selected and unselected transmissions, detection of unlicensed transmitters and undesired emissions, protection against concealed transmitters, and coverage/signal-strength mapping. It is also applied to field alignment of small dish antennas, site-survey signal mapping for WLAN and WPBX networks, spurious-emission monitoring, occupied-bandwidth measurement, and on-site system verification across cellular, PCS, mobile data, mobile satellite, fixed wireless, and SMR applications. ValueTronics supports the MS2711A from its own 20,000 square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, where we stock and hold our own inventory. Every pre-owned unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer. Holding our own stock lets buyers source this analyzer with confidence in both availability and verified condition. ## Brand Heritage Anritsu Corporation acquired the Wiltron Company in 1990 and rebranded the Wiltron name to Anritsu in 1997, consolidating its microwave and field-measurement instrument operations under a single brand. ## Accessories Supplied - User's Guide - Soft Carrying Case - Rechargeable Battery, NiMH - AC – DC Adapter - Automotive Cigarette Lighter/12 Volt DC Adapter - One Year Warranty - CD ROM containing Software Management Tools - Serial Interface Cable ## Product Core & Specifications Specification Value Frequency Frequency Range 100 kHz to 3.0 GHz Frequency Reference Aging ± 1 ppm/yr Frequency Reference Accuracy ± 2 ppm Frequency Span 100 kHz to 3.0 GHz in 1,2,5 step selections in auto mode, plus zero span Sweep Time ≥ 650 ms full span; 400 ms zero span SSB Phase Noise –74 dBc/Hz, 30 kHz offset Spurious Responses (Input Related) < –45 dBc Spurious Residual Responses < –96 dBm Resolution Bandwidths Selections 10 kHz, 30 kHz, 100 kHz and 1 MHz Accuracy ± 20% Selectivity (Video Bandwidth) 100 Hz to 300 kHz in 1-3 sequence Amplitude Measurement Range +20 to –97 dBm Displayed Average Noise Level ≤ –97 dBm (full span) Dynamic Range \> 65 dB Amplitude Accuracy ± 1.5 dB Total Level Accuracy ± 2 dB Amplitude Units (Log Scale Mode) dBm, dBV, dBmV, dBµV Display Range 2 to 15 dB/div in 1 dB steps.
