SDR Spectrum Analyzers

I know that there's probably not a single one of these that compare to a real, lab-grade SA. However most of us can't really justify spending several thousand dollars on a piece of test equipment that we might use a handful of times a year.



I'm looking at the Nuts About Nets RF Viewer ($79 + shipping) and the Signal Hound USB-SA44B ($919 + shipping)



RF Viewer looks like it's little more than a toy. I think it's funny that it's marketed as a wireless network testing took, yet it only covers 24 MHz to 1766 MHz so it can't even analyze most Wi-Fi signals. The Signal Hound unit looks like a more serious tool. It covers 1 Hz to 4.4 GHz and has a companion tracking generator available.



Has anybody got any experience with these? What other options are available?
