You're thinking of the Spectran analyzers, from www.elektrosmog.de.

I love that domain name. Elektro-Smog. Sounds like someone you'd see as a
guest villain in Spider-Man or something. I wonder what his superpowers
would be...

Anyway. Yeah, the special-order did happen a few months back. We've got
one of these units in the office, but sadly nobody's had much time to
really play with it and try to use it to its full potential.

Hopefully someone that bought one, and has been using it, will have more
helpful feedback.

If you're speaking of the Spectran, I have one and it doesn't seem to 
work too well for me. The issue for me is that there seems to be not 
enough resolution to be working with the reletively low power 
unliscensed systems as we do. I'm sure for paging and gsm it's great but 
after trying repeatedly to use it for even simple tasks like direction 
finding and channel sweeping (seeing what's clear), I had to give up and 
stop wasting time with it.

Did that ever happen?  Does anyone have one of those units??  How does 
it work?
