Hello everyone,
I'm wondering about what is considered to be the most selective handheld wideband scanner?
Part of my job is to identify & locate interference. I have access to an ancient and heavy (80 lbs) spectrum analyzer which isn't very practical for portable work, and my employer can't afford one of the new lightweight portable types. In any case, I've found it easier and quicker to identify and locate the interference with a wideband scanner in 90% of cases. But I'm sick of using my privately owned AR5000 for this duty, and want to explore other - handheld - options.
Since the scanner will be used in a demanding RF environment, I'll need something that is good in handling strong signals and is selective. My other requirements are that it must receive up to 960 MHz, but up to 1965 MHz would be a bonus; and be able to independently select AM / FM / WFM on any frequency. A secondary requirement is that the S-meter response time be *fast*.
Shortlist that I can think of: AR8000, AR8200, Yupiteru MVT9000, Icom R20. Any others to add to the list?So of these which do you think handles strong signals best and is most selective?
