The Spectrum Master MS2726C is a high performance handheld spectrum analyzer covering 9 kHz to 43 GHz (tunable to 0 Hz), built to deliver the performance needed for demanding measurements in harsh RF and physical environments. In a portable 315 mm x 211 mm x 77 mm chassis weighing 3.8 kg (8.5 lb), it brings spectrum and interference analysis to the field while retaining the measurement capability associated with bench-class instruments.

A spectrum analyzer displays the amplitude of signals across a span of frequencies, letting an engineer see where energy sits in the spectrum and how it behaves over time. The MS2726C is positioned for spectrum monitoring, broadcast proofing, interference analysis, RF and microwave measurements, regulatory compliance, and Wi-Fi and wireless network measurements, making it suited to wireless professionals who need fast and reliable results away from the bench.

ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, which lets us move quickly on quotes and shipments and stand behind what we sell. 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.

Important: Maximum continuous input: +30 dBm peak, +-50 VDC (>=10 dB attenuation); +13 dBm peak with preamp on.
Important: High Accuracy Power Meter (Option 19) 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, or MA24126A).
Important: GPS Receiver (Option 31) requires a GPS antenna ordered separately (P/N 2000-1528-R or 2000-1652-R); Anritsu GPS antennas 2000-1528-R and 2000-1652-R require 5 VDC.
Important: Secure Data Operation (Option 7): once configured for secure data operation, the Spectrum Master cannot be switched between secure and non-secure operation by the user.
