Well it's not an agilent purpose built spectrum analyzer that's for sure.
As far as surveilence etc. goes... I use TalkPCR. You can set it to scan
between two frequencies and it will log signal strengths on every active
frequency it finds. It's not as fast scanning as my Uniden scanner is, but
my uniden scanner is full of birdies and isn't as well built. (older non
trunking desk style with big diplay and VFO knob... Don't recall the model
#)
I think I can get a 500khz spectrum on it.. Again not as fast as a purpose
built unit, but not that bad. I don't use it that much really.
I get decent HF reception and very good vhf-900mhz reception. This is
mostly due to not having a dedeicated HF antenna at the moment. My Yaesu
frg-100 is a better HF receiver and more suited to my tastes.

Subject: [PCR-1000] Considering the PCR-1000
I'm considering the pcr-1000 but am looking at the WinRADIO as well. Perhaps
I'm looking for the wrong thing but here's what I'm looking for:
I'd like to use the beast to tune into various frequencies
I'd like to search between two, punched-in, frequencies (like I do on my
Uniden Scanner)
I'd like to be able to look at the spectrum to note that when I'm listening
to one frequency and getting interference on it and note that there is a
nearby frequency that comes up and may be the culpret.
I'd like to see more than 200kHz on the spectrum scope
I'd like to search at a decent rate similar to what I can do on my Uniden
scanner (BC2500)
If looking for a signal (on an unknown frequency in the 460-480 MHz area,
I'd like to have the scope/spectrum function be able to assist me in that
effort.
I was looking at a different product that was more like a hand-held spectrum
analyzer (though not called that) but it's much more expensive, and while
the price tag was not stopping me, I later found that I could only look/see
a very small slice of the band I was interested in (160-channels at
5kHz/channel).
Any comments out there on the above or anything else that you all feel is
great about this unit?
Please write me directly as I"m not yet on the list at antenna@webspan.net
