The Anritsu MS2724B Spectrum Master is an ultra-portable handheld spectrum analyzer providing continuous frequency coverage from 9 kHz to 20 GHz. Built for the wireless professional, it delivers the performance needed for demanding measurements in harsh RF and physical environments while remaining light enough to carry into the field at 3.4 kg (7.5 lb).

The MS2724B is suited to spectrum monitoring, WiFi and WiFi5 installation and testing, RF and microwave signal measurements, and cellular signal measurements. Its combination of wide frequency reach and portable form factor lets engineers and technicians perform these tasks on-site rather than only at a fixed bench.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 sq ft 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.

Important: Maximum continuous input: +30 dBm (≥10 dB input attenuation). Input damage level: >+30 dBm, ±50 Vdc.
Important: Most over-the-air, RF measurement, and demodulator options for the MS2724B require Option MS2724B-009 (IQ Demodulation Hardware); Options MS2724B-033 and MS2724B-034 additionally require Option MS2724B-031 (GPS).
Important: Option MS2724B-019 High Accuracy Power Meter does not include the PSN50 sensor; the sensor (PSN50 or MA24106A) must be obtained separately.
Important: Discrete spurious signals are not included in the measurement of DANL as they are covered by the residual spurious specification.
