John: I have been having good success with a Tektronix 2712 spectrum analyser with CISPER options using a Farnell Broadband antenna. Also a Farnell LISIN LSN0930A. These are relatively `cost effective'.
As with any test equipment they have their limitations. The Tek Software is `acceptable'. I am looking forward to better software soon. Farnell has some good software and a less expensive spectrum analyser. But I found the Tek easier to use when you have to trace sources of your problems. I also have the advantage of testing to the Class A spec. The industrial enviroment being our customer base. If you have to be concerned with Class B your may need a preamp in addition to the built in preamp to get away from the noise floor. Also I do a lot of power off and power on to isolate the UUT from the ambient. This is my humble opinion and rather new to the game experience. > > I'm looking for low end new/used equipment to set up a small > test lab for radiated emissions.
