The Anritsu MS2725C is a high performance handheld spectrum analyzer in the Spectrum Master line, covering 9 kHz to 32 GHz (tunable to 0 Hz). It is built to give the wireless professional the performance needed for demanding measurements in harsh RF and physical environments, making fast and reliable measurements in a portable, field-ready package.

A spectrum analyzer displays signal power as a function of frequency, letting an engineer see how energy is distributed across a band, identify carriers and interferers, and characterize signal quality. The MS2725C is positioned for spectrum monitoring, broadcast proofing, interference analysis, RF and microwave measurements, regulatory compliance, and Wi-Fi and wireless network measurements.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. 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. Buyers work directly with a Test Architect who can match the right configuration and options to the measurement application.

> **Important:** Maximum input at the Type K RF connector: +30 dBm peak, ±50 VDC.

> **Important:** The High-Accuracy Power Meter mode (Option 0019) requires an external USB power sensor, which is not included with the base unit and must be ordered separately (e.g., PSN50, MA24105A, MA24106A, MA24108A, MA24118A, MA24126A).

> **Important:** The GPS Receiver (Option 0031) requires an Anritsu GPS antenna, part number 2000-1528-R or 2000-1652-R; these antennas require 5 VDC and are ordered separately.

> **Important:** Once the Spectrum Master is configured for secure data operation (Option 0007), it cannot be switched between secure and non-secure operation by the user.

> **Important:** Recommended calibration cycle is 12 months.
