The Anritsu Site Master S311D/S312D is a handheld, field-oriented cable and antenna analyzer built on Anritsu's Site Master series. The S311D provides a 25 MHz to 1600 MHz cable and antenna analyzer, while the S312D combines that same high-performance cable and antenna analyzer with a fully functional spectrum analyzer covering 100 kHz to 1600 MHz. Both models are designed for accurate, portable, rugged, and easy-to-use field measurement, with a menu-driven interface that requires little or no training time.
The Site Master is positioned for Land Mobile Radio (LMR) and Public Safety system work, including testing the RF performance of P25 and TETRA radios across the VHF/UHF, 700 MHz, and 800 MHz bands. With frequency coverage reaching down to 2 MHz (via the low-frequency option), it also supports defense applications in the HF band, and the S31xD series is suited to broadcast and cellular applications as well. The cable and antenna analyzer sweeps cables and antennas at the frequency of operation using Return Loss and VSWR measurements, while Distance-To-Fault pinpoints poor connections, contamination, damaged cables, water penetration, and bad antennas.
ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, so the instruments we list are equipment we keep on hand rather than source on demand. Every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer. This combination lets our team match the right Site Master configuration to your application and ship it with confidence in its condition.
The Site Master S311D/S312D family pairs Anritsu's rugged field-instrument design with two model tiers built around the same 1600 MHz cable and antenna analyzer. The S311D is a dedicated cable and antenna analyzer, while the S312D combines that analyzer with a fully functional spectrum analyzer and a wider catalog of measurement options.
Both models share the same handheld chassis, TFT color display, six-language interface, RS-232 connectivity, and Frequency Domain Reflectometry measurement engine, so the choice between them comes down to which measurement functions and options a given field application requires.
Each pre-owned model below is its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Select the model that fits your application, then choose the listing that matches the condition and configuration you need.
The S312D is the dual-function member of the family: it adds the 100 kHz to 1600 MHz spectrum analyzer and the ≤–135 dBm noise floor that Anritsu calls out for tracking low-level interference on LMR and SMR systems, and it supports options such as the Interference Analyzer, Transmission Measurement, Channel Scanner, CW Signal Generator, Power Meter, and Bias Tee that are not offered on the S311D.
The primary difference between the models is the spectrum analyzer: the S312D includes a 100 kHz to 1.6 GHz spectrum analyzer (tunable to 9 kHz) with a +20 dBm to –135 dBm measurement range, while the S311D is a cable and antenna analyzer only. The two models also differ in setup storage, with the S311D supporting 10 to 20 saved setups and the S312D supporting 15 to 40.
Option availability follows the same split. The S311D options are the 2 MHz Frequency Extension, Power Monitor, High Accuracy Power Meter, and GPS Receiver; the S312D adds the Bias Tee, Transmission Measurement, Interference Analyzer, Channel Scanner, CW Signal Generator, and Power Meter options. See the comparison table for the per-model frequency ranges, functions, and option codes.
