I am looking at purchasing an Aeroflex 2945A. I am a real newbie and have only borrowed older Service Monitors. I am wondering what I might be missing out on buying the 2945A w Tracking Gen, Analog Systems Card, OCXO, AMPS Cellular. Seems like the price is pretty competitive and I am thinking it must be missing something I need....
I will be doing Repeater Maintenance, Duplexer Tuning, Radio repairs, cable/feedline assessment, and soon... DMR support... for DMR, just want to know if it is an option... I will have the need in the next year or so.... I have seen some excellent support on these products from "Wowbagger" and perhaps he can comment...!!! Thanks in advance to all!!!
IFR/Aeroflex 2945A - Is there a DMR opt? Cable Fault option

There's not going to be DMR for the 2945. DMR would be the 3900 family.
As for the rest of your uses - the 2945 should do pretty well. That used to be a Marconi Instruments device before IFR bought them, and was Marconi's competition for the COM-120B, so I am a bit biased.

This is my opinion, not Aeroflex's.
I WILL NOT give you proprietary information. I make too much money to jeopardize my job.
I AM NOT the Service department: You want official info, manuals, service info, parts, calibration, etc., contact Aeroflex directly, please.

I wonder if Wowbagger or anyone can give me the basic difference between the 2945A and 2945B? Is the B version faster with a new firmware release or something similar? Does it have more standard options? I am vacillating between the IFR 120B and the 2945 options... I am leaning to the 2945s as weight is important for my needs... I think the 2945s go around 28 pounds which makes it practical to haul up to repeater sites... thanks for all your help for this newbie... Dave
