There are a couple sources for boards for the W7ZOI spectrum analyzer
project that ran in QST some years back. Also, for about $500-700 on
eBay you can get a used HP or Tek SA that will blow the doors off an
inexpensive kit version. If you do a lot of RF design work, it's a must.
The two most useful pieces of rf test gear I have ever bought are an
HP-8640B signal generator and Tektronix 7L14 spectrum analyzer...
together they were less than a decently outfitted K2.

Shouldn't be too hard to even have it use a PC as a display, much like the
sound card analyzers and PC-based oscilloscopes do, and that should help keep
costs down.
Count me in!

Gang,
One of the insturments I always wanted for home use was a spectrum analyzer.
Nice to have sound card analyzers with software and all, but a real rf
analyzer in a small, functional package would be sooooo great. With some
careful trade off decisions it might even be affordable! The display is a big
headache if you don't have a good Oscope handy but a creative designer [or two]
might be able to do the job. I suppose it would not have the broad appeal of a
K1, 2 or even a very compact antenna tuner, but it might appeal to a few
hundred hams and others who do bench work.

Yes, I know about the projects already on the web, but how many of you have
actually rounded up all the stuff to build that one?
