's only $3,995 and is available through unspecified resellers and distributors. If you buy one, can I borrow it?

I hear that.

I got back late from an out-of-state, work related, trip once. Went straight home instead of back to the shop at work. Ended up not going in until the day after the following day. Anyway, had test equipment with me (including an HP8562 spec annie). Spent the almost the entire day and a half playing with it at home.

As you can imagine, I got quite attached (in only 1 1/2 days) to having that spec annie at home!

(One of these days, I will own my own personal spec annie!)

Cheers, Eric

I have a spectrum analyzer. HP140 mainframis with assorted plugins, none of which cover 2.4 or 5.7GHz. Also weighs about 60lbs. However, all is not lost. I use a modified (i.e. butchered) MMDS downconverter to look at 2.4GHz. Not ideal but quite useful. However, for portable expeditions, I borrow a friends portable Tektronix something 1GHz spectrum analyzer and still use the downconverter. Think cheap.

Awesome. I suppose I don't even need to ask if that gets a lot of use. :^)

Yeah, "cheap" would be my only option. Every few years, I look at spectrum analyzers that integrate with PC's and/or laptops, but end up just waiting a few years to look again. The cost of an upper "medium-end" laptop (up to, say, $2400) would be justifiable -- but can't do $4k.

Cheers, Eric
