The RouterOS v4 with the R52n has a spectrum analyzer mode (similar to Orthogon and others). With one of those on your tower either with an omni or a directional antenna and rotor, or both, you could do some pretty interesting things. If MT has the ability to read the analyzer output with their API, you could pretty easily graph the noise on every channel over time. Hmmm. Now that I've said that "out loud," I think I'm going to build one.
