Spectrum Monitoring article on spectrum analyzer

Has anyone here played with the USB dongle RF spectrum analyzer from RF VIEWER -- Low-Cost, RF Spectrum Analyzer | RF VIEWER — Low-Cost, RF Spectrum Analyzer

From the article : a low cost USB dongle RF

spectrum analyzer covering 24 – 1766 MHz with the capability

of scanning up to 300 MHz of spectrum at a time.

The package includes one RTL-SDR dongle, mini-antenna,

instructions for downloading Touchstone-Pro (the

companion software) to a Windows-based PC, a key code

(via email from NutsAboutNets) to access Touchstone-Pro

RF Spectrum Analyzer software and lifetime of free software

upgrades. A free download of the demonstration version of the

software is available for those interested prior to purchase by

going to the Ebay site.





There is a real interesting article about this in the September issue of Spectrum Monitor on line mag. ( The Spectrum Monitor ) This on line mag is by the way a very decent replacement to the late Monitoring Times mag.



I am just now getting into the SDR world and curious if this a worthwhile device. Early days of experimenting.
