General Spectrum Analyser question

I've never owned a spectrum analyser but I've installed C & Ku band earth stations using a handheld Anritsu which went to 3GHz. What would be a good (say reburbished priced - starting off model) Spectrum Analyser to start with? There's a lot of different types, I sort of know what I want but I'm no expert.  I will be doing any type of satellite work I can get. Any feedback would be great.

Your experience so far will be a good guide as to what facilities you need.

Think about:

Portability: Weight. Can you carry it up vertical ladders.  Handle good for a rope ? Protective carry/flight case. Rain, ice, dust, sand, dropping things on it, including the tea.
All applications: Is a DC block on the input incorporated ?  If not, buy one.
Frequency range: DC to 3 GHz is good for 70 and 140 MHz IF tests as well as L band. For some situations you need to monitor the BUC or HPA output spectrum for spurious transmissions and intermod products. You need a very high loss, calibrated, cross-waveguide coupler and an analyser that goes up to the respective RF frequency or a loop test translator.
G/T tests: Useful to have Marker Noise function to display noise power density.
Subreflector alignment: Long single sweep time (~60 sec), trace print or plot.
Sidelobe tests:  Need for narrow filter (say 1 kHz), high frequency stability, long single sweep time (~60 sec), trace print or plot.
Illumination: Can you see the buttons to press in the dark ? Is the screen visible in sunlight ?
Interfaces: HPIB/IEE488, plotter, Ethernet, printer.
Your experience: It takes time to learn how to use and once you get good with say Agilent or Anritsu then there is good reason to stick with that type.
Consider renting a spectrum analyser and power meter if doing a contract for a big dish.

If considering buying:
Try eBay and search for spectrum analyser.  That will give you an idea of what is available second hand.

I hope other will make observations and suggestions also.
