2.5GHz monitor

[PJinNJ]

Hey folks, I've been trying to find a monitor device (like ic-r3 or ic-r20) to test range on video conference installations. Video would be great but voice will suffice. The only combination unit I came across is the ICOM R3 but it's no longer distributed or sold. I have looked at the R20 and most have told me it's tough to tune. It must be mobile and in the 2.5GHz range. Anyone know of alternatives? Thanks.

I see them for sale "used" on ebay quite a lot - have you looked on ebay or any of the other ham radio used equipment web sites?

Thanks

Thanks, no, I haven't as I'm not certain it's a good solution. If it's my only solution without spending thousands on gear then I will take a look. Never crossed my mind so thanks for uncrossing it.

I think you are on the right track as the IC-R3 seems to fit your requirements. You can probably find one on the used market as many hams and scanner listeners are starting to sell off a lot of their surplus equipment in order to pay off bills in this dumpy economy so you may find a good deal if you are persistent.
