Aeroflex has introduced the 3500A 1GHz hand-held Radio Test Set. The 3500A improves upon the success of the 3500, a 1GHz hand-held test set. With improved audio analysis and operation, the 3500A offers lighter weight, integrated audio test connections and a new microphone interface for easier operation. With a new cast magnesium alloy case, the device weighs almost 0.5kg less than its predecessor, the 3500. Weight is an important factor for engineers and technicians when performing radio tests in the field and the Aeroflex 3500A is a 1GHz radio test set to weigh less than 3.7kg. The device includes testing capabilities for AM and FM radio systems including power measurements, RSSI, frequency error, FM deviation, AM modulation index, SINAD, distortion and AF level. Optionally, the 3500A supports a single-channel scope and a spectrum analyzer for extended testing. The device is P25 ready for support of P25 testing as additional features are added, and is MIL-28800F Class II certified.
