None of the 492/494 series, including the 494AP that I have will do 
300 Hz RBW.  They have 10 Hz, 100 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz and 1 MHz RBW.

The 2712 will do 300 Hz RBW and is a fairly decent unit.  The 2710 
will do 300 Hz RBW but is basically a cable TV unit.  I would advise 
staying away from the 2710.
