Other options also exist. My 8565 SA was less than $1K when I bought it. It will get a RBW down to about 1KHz.

For laboratory work at VHF and below, an RBW of 1kHz is completely useless (as I mentioned before, some field work is different). Even 10Hz is not very useful. I rarely use an RBW greater than 1Hz (other than for simply finding signals in a wide swath of spectrum, as opposed to analyzing them), and often use RBWs in the mHz region.

Best regards,
