Lisa, On the expensive end, Noise-Ken has been at Symposia (which I can't afford this year) with a sniffer. It apparently uses four or five broadly tuned peak detectors and gives a bar-graph display for each band as its sensor is brought near the EUT. But, like others, I've found that a

EMCO/ETS makes a probe kit with a preamp for under $1000. Several probes, E- and H-field. Electro-metrics makes the same kind of kit, but without the pre-amp, per my recollection. I think Com-power might also do this kind of thing, and be the low price vendor as well. If the EUT is noisy and

Hi all, Does anyone know of a down- and- dirty , inexpensive method or equipment for sniffing out emissions issues? I've used a Spectrum Analyzer in the past with a series of different probes, but that tends to be costly. Also, Is there a universal probe kit out there? Thank you in advance.
