[time-nuts] Spectrum Analyzer Suggestions

List,
 
I just purchased a HP 3585 spec analyzer on E bay
for a reasonable price.  I wanted this
instead of the 181 series as the range was more to what I’d be using and it was
of a newer vintage.  The 3585a goes from
10 Hz to 40 MHz which is a most useful range for my purposes. so far, so good.
 
The problem is I didn’t know the beast weighed a svelte
88 pounds! Double Hernia time!
 
What I’d appreciate advice for a used spec
analyzer in the $1,000 range that is at least much lighter.  A smaller size would also be a benefit.  I probably would never use it above 100 MHz. A
slightly smaller screen would be OK.
 
Suggestions appreciated.
 
Regards,
 
Perrier
