Rohde & Schwarz · Spectrum analyzer · From c.2002
The FSH3 put Rohde & Schwarz spectrum analysis in a field bag in the early 2000s. It covers 100 kHz to 3 GHz, weighs 2.5 kg, runs about four hours on its NiMH pack, and R&S aimed it at jobs like installing and servicing mobile radio base stations and finding faults in RF cables on site. Which version you get matters more than anything else. The .03 has a preamplifier, the .13 adds a tracking generator, and the .23 has both. Only the tracking-generator versions can do distance-to-fault and transmission measurements, so check the order number on the label. The battery is the same type as Fluke's BP190, and the FSH6 and FSH18 are the 6 and 18 GHz siblings. Accessories like the VSWR bridge and power sensors change what it can do, so count them when you compare listings.
Options and accessories
Check the listing photos and the rear panel against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing option or probe should come off the price.
If the battery is completely flat, the FSH3 won't switch on even with the AC adapter plugged in, so a dead-looking unit may only need a long charge with the power off. The packs are NiMH, rated for 300 to 500 charge cycles, so an original battery is likely tired.
New to used bench gear? How to check used test equipment covers self-tests, fuses, the voltage selector and shipping, and what “calibrated” means in a listing.
Buying guide
We'd buy orinas-inc's FSH3 at $950 delivered from Japan, titled working with a photo of a live sweep, well under the $1,525–2,000 band. There are at least 35 for sale, mostly China resellers asking $1,640–1,712 delivered here with watermarked photos shared across accounts, so ask any of them for a photo of the actual unit with its serial and a sweep. Read the order number on the label, since a .03 has the preamplifier, a .13 the tracking generator and a .23 both, and only the tracking-generator versions do distance-to-fault, which makes electric.labyrinth's $1,050 tracking-generator unit worth a shipping quote. Ask how long the battery runs and whether the AC adapter is included, since a flat pack can stop it switching on, and skip lhy-tech's $5,620 ask, about 3.3 times the $1,705 median.
