Introduction

Simplify your interference hunting tasks with the Handheld Interference

This broadband, easy-to-use handheld direction finding antenna system includes everything you need to find the

With the electronic compass it knows where it is aimed. With an antenna attached, the Interference
direction and signal level when the user presses the trigger on the ergonomic handle.

The included adjustable shoulder strap conveniently holds the MA2700A when out in the field. The ergonomic handle
can be used with antennas having a female Type-N connector located at the back of the antenna. The included coupling
nut allows for easy antenna connection. Compatible antennas in many cellular bands are available from Anritsu. For
details on these antennas including frequency range, gain, and pattern information, refer to the Directional Antennas
Technical Data Sheet (11410-00376) available for download from the Anritsu web site.

Combined with Interference Analysis (Option 25) on Anritsu’s instruments, the captured location and bearing data is

How to Use the MA2700A

Connections

• Connect an antenna to the male N-connector (inside the coupling nut).

• Connect USB cable between the MA2700A and the instrument. Connect coaxial cable between the MA2700A and the instrument's RF Input

connector.

Instrument Setup

• Confirm that the instrument has SPA module V6.00 or higher.

• Select the Interference Analysis (Option 25) mode on the instrument, then select Interference Mapping measurement.

• The instrument will detect the connected MA2700A and display the message MA2700 detected -- Device is ready to use. After GPS lock,

the instrument will use GPS data from the MA2700A.

• To manually select the MA2700A: In the Measurements menu, press Interference Mapping twice. Choose the Direction Finding submenu
