New Spectrum Analyzer Discussion
|
I see there is some discussion about an older large spectrum analyzer. I thought I would share my experience with a new very cheap but quite useful spectrum analyzer.
I have an HP 8558B and an Avcom PSA65C but I find myself using most often an analyzer I picked up recently for less than $250.00. It is a pocket spectrum analyzer called the RF Explorer. Google it for details. It covers 15mhz to 2.7ghz, has a built in screen, and also connects to a PC for large screen display and captures. I have no relation to the people that sell it, I just think it is a valuable useful analyzer for field measurements, and want to let others know of its availability. I never see it discussed anywhere nor is it advertised. Hope this posting helps you all with your projects and needs. Thanks, Ken |

make this an expensive spectrum analyer. You were lucky to get one for $250, if the basic price is $3375 I think I'd rather keep my HP 70000 series spectrum analyzer, though portable it is certainly not. Some of the prices are below.

I think maybe you misunderstood my posting. Or I didn't write it well.

I mentioned I have an HP and an avcom but they are not what I am discussing in my posting. The spectrum analyzer I am talking about is: RF Explorer it is about $250 and covers 15mhz to 2.7ghz. It is pocket size and has a built in display screen and can be connected to a PC for large screen display and captures of screen shots. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my first posting. You can find details by googling RF Explorer. Thank you, Ken --- On Fri, 12/28/12, David Kirkby <david.kirkby@...> wrote:
