A Portable Spectrum Analyzer and Much More

MESA^® 2.0 is a portable, handheld RF receiver that detects known, unknown, illegal, disruptive or interfering transmissions. MESA^® 2.0 has the portability and operational features not found on other spectrum analyzers. It provides tools, specifications, and design features for locating unknown signals throughout a wide frequency range up to 6 GHz (*12 GHz with the Downconverter antenna, and 18GHz with the 18GHz Downconverter antenna [sold separately]).

Efficiency: MESA^® 2.0 is easy to set up and puts sweep data at your fingertips with user-friendly navigation. Auto antenna recognition makes changing antennas a snap.

Usability: Full touchscreen control provides quick access to Spectrum, WiFi, Bluetooth^®, Mobile Bands, and (Patented) SmartBars™ modes.

Portability: Portable, handheld battery powered unit can sweep target areas using a full selection of fixed, bracket mounted, and handheld antennas/probes.

*Available with MESA^® 2.0 Deluxe
