Siglent SSA3021X (not plus) compared to the SVA1032X
« on: October 25, 2024, 12:52:56 pm »
I am considering buying a used Siglent spectrum analyzer for hobby use.  How does the SSA3021X (not plus) upgraded to 3.2GHz, compare to the SVA1032X?  The going prices for the SVA1032X are considerably higher than the SSA3021X.  Are there any significant hardware or other differences that I should consider?

Older earlier HW.
Analyzer performance is essentially the same but SSA3kX models are missing:
Touch and mouse capability.
Webserver
Superior EMI mode.

SSA3kX models, while sharing the same case as the later SSA3kX Plus and SVA1000X models cannot be upgraded to either.

Entry level into the later capability are SSA3015X/SSA3021X Plus models.....each with their own frequency limitations.

Some stuff seen @ Siglent HQ cannot be shared.

Thank you.  Now I have to decide if the SVA1032X is worth 2x the price.  :-\

You may not need to buy a SVA. Just buy a SSA3021X Plus and upgrade to SVA1032. (as long as you are lucky with the connectors inside... see the hacking thread)
