[RFI] Poor man's portable spectrum analyzer

[David Eckhardt]

I have never been able to display more than 8 MHz with the SDRPlays.
However, with the AirSpy using the SpectrumSpy application which comes with
a download of SDR#, I am able to display on one screen from roughly 25 MHz
through 2 GHz.  Of course, you can display less if desired and zero in on
specific 'signals' when desired.  I have no connection with AirSpy other
than owning 3 of them.
