B & K Precision 2620A Spectrum Analyzer

[today’s run: 3.5 miles]

Our recent divergence to Atlanta was to pick up an auction purchase.  The FCC site near Atlanta had listed a number of pieces of test equipment.  I was the lucky winner of a B&K Precision 2620A Spectrum Analyzer.

The 2620A is a portable unit which covers 0-500 MHz.  It has two bandwidths, 250 kHz and 20 kHz. It also has an integrated tracking generator which makes it capable of characterizing filters of various types.

I haven’t done much with it yet.  It does appear to work.

I already have a more capable spectrum analyzer, but it is a much larger and heavier desktop unit.  I am hoping this portable unit might prove useful.
