Frequently Asked Questions
The Zoom feature allows you to focus on a specific section of the frequency spectrum for more detailed analysis. This is particularly useful when tuning antennas, identifying precise SWR dips, or troubleshooting narrow-band RF systems where greater measurement accuracy is required.
The AA-1500 sits neatly between the AA-650 and AA-2000 in both frequency coverage and capability. With a measurement range up to 1.5 GHz, it offers significantly more versatility than the AA-650 while remaining a more cost-effective option than the AA-2000.
This makes it an excellent choice for most amateur radio, telecommunications, and RF testing applications. If you need help selecting the right analyser alongside related UPS accessories, our team can point you in the right direction.
Yes. The AA-1500 fully covers the 1.2 GHz (23 cm) amateur radio band, making it well suited for operators working at these frequencies. Its upper limit of 1.5 GHz also allows testing across a range of other RF applications, including GPS-related frequencies and various aviation and communications systems.
Yes. The AA-1500 can connect directly to a computer via USB, allowing you to transfer measurement data, review results, and perform more detailed analysis using compatible software. This makes reporting and record-keeping much easier, particularly for professional testing environments.
If you’d like advice on software compatibility or setup, please contact us and we’ll be happy to assist.
The AA-1500 is powered by three rechargeable AA Ni-MH batteries and is designed for portable field use. A fully charged set typically provides up to 3 hours of continuous testing, with standby times extending up to 2 days. The analyser can also draw power through a USB connection when connected to a PC or compatible power source, helping extend operating time during longer testing sessions.
