[RFI] USB Spectrum Analyzer

[Paul Christensen]

Gary,

I think -110 dBm sensitivity is marginal for RFI detective work, especially 
while working with low gain loops when trying to localize switch-mode 
interference.   Some of the loop preamps I've used produce much more 
gain/noise than signal.  For the money, I would look at one of the new, 
compact SDR receivers that contain a basic spectrum analyzer function. 
These will measure a -140 dBm noise floor.  Of course, you don't have the 
ability to change resolution bandwidth as one would have with a true 
spectrum analyzer but that's perfectly adequate for RFI work.

Paul, W9AC

This might be a useful RFI fighting tool.  Probably only a matter of
time before the price comes down.
