Title: Inexpensive Spectrum Analyzer (for RF)
Post by: Scott Holtzman on August 11, 2014, 10:43:24 AM
Has anyone every used this analyzer:

At that price point it is something everyone running wireless would want in their tool bag.  For $50US the software doesn't look bad either.

I am going to buy one and will write a review.  I have an Anritsu that is calibrated I can use as a reference.

looking forward to the review.  i've been using one of these for a couple of years now.  i was an early adopter.  i don't use it for anything that requires super high accuracy.  i just use it to give me a general 'lay of the RF land' and it works very well for that.  i'd be curious to see how accurate/inaccurate you may find it to be.....

That's exactly the application I am going to use it for.  It's a toolbox tool, for triage and frequency selection.  That's what I see it's role in live production.
