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).

Nope. One does 4.9 one does 900, however they both do all 2.4, 5,1-5,8. From my understanding.

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
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.
