The HP 3709B Constellation Analyser is used to characterize the performance and condition of digital radios both in-service and out-of-service by analysis of constellation patterns. It also measures the linear and non-linear distortions revealed by the patterns. The 3709B cost $16,870 in 1993.

This was bought on eBay as part of a job lot of equipment. In good condition, it just needed a superficial clean-up and a few stickers removed. After the usual checks it was powered-up and passed its self tests ok.

There is a good description of the HP 3709B in the HP Journal July 1987. As this is not an item of test equipment that I have a need for it will be resold.
