Anritsu MS8609A 9kHz - 13.2GHz Spectrum/Signal Analyzer - Short Review

<< < (5/11) > >>

Mechatrommer:
that is an insanely low offer. it was listed $1800, so i offered almost half of it. i guess some sellers put the price twice from what they expected. for some other sellers, you just offer $100-200 cheaper and they will quickly decline it. having hunting for SA in ebay for years, $1000 for a working 13.2GHz SA is shear luck, even on older phosphored CRT brand like Agilent/HP, so i dont know, if this Aritsu still has some life in it, it should be still a good deal, i quickly searched in google for damaged Anritsu unit before making an offer, so far not much hit, hopefully this thing is built like tank.

Occasionally, I check situation na ebay about MS8609A, and I would like to buy it, but honestly, I don't have job for it. Most my Designs are digital.

Anyway, I already have: MS2601A, E4406A, E7495B, CMU200 and MT8801A. Time for selling?

Mechatrommer:
if an equipment must have a job, i should have nothing. this is newbie wants to learn at limited budget. during kid time, i'm unable to learn, where to get money to buy stuffs? even china DMM is unaffordable. and my dad always into agriculture and preparing shelter for us, if ask him about electronics, he doesnt even know what a resistor is, even i didnt have a clue what a SA is until recently.

Oh it is very very well built.....exercise before you pick it up! 

I like mine so much, I'm almost (insanely) tempted to get another..but I must remain sane.
I wish the LCD was slightly bigger, but that is just me...I saw one of their other models lets you use the full screen for the wave (clears the menus out), but I don't think this unit can do so (or I just don't know how).  Can that be done on this unit?  There is a VGA video connector around back...might look good on my 20" monitor!

i mean the quality and durability of the little little tiny RF components inside, not by its weight. if its so, i've done my exercise on Advantest R3465, LeCroy WaveMaster/Pro, Tek 714, those are around 40 pounders middleweight class. at age of 40+, the trick to keep going is Glucosamine + Chondroitin + MSM, mainly due to 24/7 sitting for decades in front of a PC... i think my body developed stronger L shape posture but poorer I shape posture (standing straight)
