THE R8100
THE PREMIUM ULTRA-PORTABLE CHOICE
The R8100 is the premium, ultra-portable member of our product family. It has all the functionality and test capabilities of our industry-standard R8000 communications system analyzer, but also features an internal battery, premier ergonomics and suite of advanced features that are optional on the R8000. With the R8100, there’s absolutely no trade-off between benchtop power and total portability and the unit’s Class 3 Mil-Spec shock and vibration rating at test to its suitability for nearly any LMR test environment.
- Options Included: Tracking Generator, Cable Fault Detector, and Enhanced Spectrum Analyzer / Dual Scope.
Premium Ultra-Portable Choice Communications System Analyzer, 250 kHz-1 GHz.
The R8100 is a unique device on the market since it has all the characteristics of a communications analyzer in a truly portable package. Easy to handle, combine the navigation keys and the segmentation of the screen in “zones” which is common in the FREEDOM Communication Technologies brand.
