The Anritsu MA2700A Handheld InterferenceHunter™ is designed to accelerate and simplify the process of locating RF interference sources in real-world environments. Built for use with Anritsu’s handheld spectrum analyzers (via firmware-supported models), this accessory enhances Interference Mapping (option 25) by visually plotting vector lines toward interference sources on user-generated maps.
Powered entirely via USB, the MA2700A eliminates the need for batteries, offering reliable field performance with low power consumption (≤0.6W). An internal directional preamplifier boosts weak signals across a wide bandwidth (10 MHz to 6 GHz), with variable gain profiles based on frequency range.
The MA2700A features a high-sensitivity GPS receiver capable of tracking 12 satellites for precise location tagging, and an electronic compass to ensure directional vectors are accurately overlaid on maps. Together, they provide real-time mapping that visually guides technicians to the source of interference.
Its ergonomic handle includes a trigger switch that activates logging or toggles the preamplifier, allowing for one-handed use in dynamic environments. The device supports a wide range of directional antennas with Type N connectors and is fully compatible with Anritsu’s low-frequency directional models (with adjustments).
Whether mounted on a tripod or used hand-held, the MA2700A is rugged, accurate, and an indispensable tool for spectrum regulators, wireless operators, broadcasters, and security teams involved in RF monitoring, interference hunting, and compliance enforcement.
