The Anritsu MS2724C is a high performance handheld Spectrum Master spectrum analyzer covering 9 kHz to 20 GHz (tunable to 0 Hz). It is built to deliver the performance needed for demanding measurements in harsh RF and physical environments, packaged in a portable instrument that weighs 3.5 kg (7.8 lb) and carries an 8.4 inch display.

Anritsu positions the instrument for spectrum monitoring, broadcast proofing, interference analysis, RF and microwave measurements, regulatory compliance, and Wi-Fi and wireless network measurements. A spectrum analyzer displays signal power across frequency, letting an engineer see where energy sits in the spectrum, identify unwanted emissions, and characterize a signal's occupied bandwidth and channel power.

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. That combination lets buyers source this instrument with confidence in both its condition and its availability.
