The Anritsu MS2711A is a handheld spectrum analyzer built for field environments and applications requiring mobility. It pairs a rugged, ultra-lightweight, battery-operated design with synthesizer-based measurement, providing complete freedom from AC/DC power requirements so users can locate, identify, record, and solve communication-system problems quickly. Covering the 100 kHz to 3.0 GHz frequency range, it is positioned for engineers and technicians who install, maintain, or troubleshoot modern wireless communication systems in the field without sacrificing measurement accuracy.
The MS2711A is suited to radio communications work that involves monitoring signals and sources of interference in field environments. Its stated testing capabilities include detection of signal interference, monitoring of selected and unselected transmissions, detection of unlicensed transmitters and undesired emissions, protection against concealed transmitters, and coverage/signal-strength mapping. It is also applied to field alignment of small dish antennas, site-survey signal mapping for WLAN and WPBX networks, spurious-emission monitoring, occupied-bandwidth measurement, and on-site system verification across cellular, PCS, mobile data, mobile satellite, fixed wireless, and SMR applications.
ValueTronics supports the MS2711A from its own 20,000 square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, where we stock and hold our own inventory. 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. Holding our own stock lets buyers source this analyzer with confidence in both availability and verified condition.
Anritsu Corporation acquired the Wiltron Company in 1990 and rebranded the Wiltron name to Anritsu in 1997, consolidating its microwave and field-measurement instrument operations under a single brand.

Important: Maximum input level: +20 dBm, +50 Vdc.
Important: The RF Wattmeter/Power Monitor (Option 5) requires an external RF detector, which is not included with the option; the RF Detector (5400-71N50, N(m), 50 Ohm, 1 to 3000 MHz) must be ordered separately.
Important: The RS-232 interface requires a serial null modem cable (RX-TX lines are crossed, not straight through); a null modem cable is standard with every MS2711A.
