Paul, I bought a portable HP (just before it became 'Agilent' - ugh) 7401 EMC analyzer. It only goes up to 1.5Ghz, but I think there is a version that goes higher. It has a built-in hard disk, and a 3.5 floppy drive (it for saving data - traces, analyzer state, and screen, as well as loading antenna factors for the major, popular antennas). It is a color screen with 3 trace capability, screen split, built-in pre-amp, etc . . . I paid $16. It works very well when you need to do troublshooting.

Dear List, I am looking to purchase (new or used) a good general purpose spectrum analyzer, mostly for use with an EMCO sniffer loop set for locating "hot" boards, shields, and cables, panel joints which are leaking, etc. The frequency range of interest is up to a few GHz (this is to assist with EN 55011 emissions testing). I also want to get something that other engineers and techs don't shy away from. So, I don't need or want anything incredibly fancy, and I'm not trying to set up an open field site. Just reliable and straightforward to use. Any brand name and model suggestions? My thanks in advance.
