Re: [WISPA] Re: [WISP] Renting Spectrum Analyzers
About $500 plus shipping. I use mine all the time !!! Seriously, just got done checking some cards from an AP that got hit by lightning a few days ago (yes, in January !). It is so nice to know for sure they are OK and I can reuse with piece-of-mind. The PoE suppressor did its job this time (last time I lost everything).

Re: [WISPA] Re: [WISP] Renting Spectrum Analyzers
Wow. For the rental price on some of those you can buy one from BVS Systems. I rented one (I can't remember the name but it was an expensive unit) for $250 per week from Wave Rider. If I remember right (it has been a while), it at least covered 900 and 2.4. You should probably have some antennas of your own ready to go for testing when you get the unit. It is a big and expensive unit, so don't plan on carrying it up a tower !

RE: [WISPA] Re: [WISP] Renting Spectrum Analyzers
I prefer the Anritsu MS2721A Spectrum Master. Easy to operate, it is not bulky and does not weight very much for those tower climbs, color graphics, and quit a bit of storage for saved measurements. When in a pinch we rent from TRS out of Texas, phone 800-621-6354. They offer very good weekly, bimonthly, or monthly options on SpecA's, Cable Sweepers, Path Align-R's, etc. I hope 2006 will be prosperous to each of you.

Hi Brian, XL Microwave makes a spectrum analyzer that is extremely easy and simple to use It doesn't have all the add-ons that an anritsu or rhode and shwarz unit will provide, but for the normal user -- those extra buttons / knobs confuse more than anything else I believe that they have a rental program, but I've cc:ed Tom Duckworth from XL Microwave (he's an engineer there) -- and he may be able to better answer your question Their website is: http://www.xlmicrowave.com/ -Charles --- WiNOG Austin, TX March 13-15, 2006 http://www.winog.com On 1/5/06, Brian Rohrbacher [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone in love with one of these? http://www.metrictest.com/catalog/views/rental_specials.jsp?searchTerm =Spectrum%20Analyzers Brian Rohrbacher wrote: Can I get one that does 900, 2.4, and 5 gig?

RE: [WISPA] Re: [WISP] Renting Spectrum Analyzers
Regarding Avcom The Avcom units require extra modules to go beyond 2.4 On a tower, trying to plug-in something else is kind of a hassle From an ease of use perspective, I would recommend that you find a 1 piece spectrum analyzer...that covers all the bands You'll appreciate it when you're hanging off the tower...trust me =) -Charles --- WiNOG Austin, TX March 13-15, 2006 http://www.winog.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Butch Evans Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 12:17 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Re: [WISP] Renting Spectrum Analyzers On Thu, 5 Jan 2006, Jenco Wireless wrote: Wow.
