AEA VIA Echo 1000 Analyzer – Used, Powers On, Battery Issue, AS-IS
Presented here is an AEA VIA Echo 1000 vector impedance analyzer, a portable test instrument designed around a keypad-driven interface for impedance measurement work.
Some instruments earn their keep in the field and then get set aside intact. This one still powers up cleanly, responds to input, and comes as a complete kit, waiting for someone who knows exactly how they want to put it back to use.
Product Condition
The unit appears in nice condition and shows little sign of use. It powers on when operated using the included 12 VDC power adapter. The internal battery does not hold sufficient charge to operate the unit independently. Keypad functionality was verified during power-up. No further testing was performed due to the battery charging issue and the absence of full test capability.
Includes the operating manual, power adapter, padded carry case, and the accessories shown in the listing photos. The item is offered AS-IS due to limited testing and the battery condition.
Product Overview
The VIA Echo 1000 is part of AEA’s Echo series of portable vector impedance analyzers, built for technicians who prefer a self-contained instrument with direct keypad control. Units in this class are typically used for impedance-related measurements in RF and cable environments.
This listing focuses on the verified operational state of this specific unit rather than untested performance characteristics.
