Aeroflex IFR 3500A radio communications test set

The Aeroflex IFR 3500A radio communications test set can be rented from TechRentals. It provides fast reliable measurements of the radio’s transmitter and receiver parameters for AM/FM, as well as a P25 digital radio test option. With the capability to test antennas and cables, along with the ability to re-tune antenna duplexers using the tracking generator, the unit adds testing versatility when used in the field.

Under test conditions, there is no need to connect to the radio - users can connect to the supplied antenna, key up the radio and then measure the radio parameters over the air. There is a push-to-talk button on the handset to control whether the 3500A is transmitting or receiving.

Features include: 2 MHz to 1 GHz operation; direct connect testing; spectrum analyser with <-136 dBm noise floor; oscilloscope; and save/recall user set-ups.
