Tom, I have been extremely happy with the Airmagnet (Cognio - now owned by Cisco) Spectrum Analyzer. It does a good job of identifying any devices in the area, as well as provide a good graphical interface and view of the spectrum being surveyed. My only complaint with the product is the refresh rate, but nothing can compare to a true RF Spectrum Analyzer. Another tool I am happy with is the Airmagnet Surveyor Pro. This tool does a good job of identifying any poor coverage areas after the installation is complete. Of course the accuracy of this tool depends on the procedure used to collect the data and the number of datapoints you decide to take. Hope this helps.
