Here is a great podcast that discusses various RF tools, as well as some videos that compare the different RF apps. I personally still use the cisco spectrum expert card, works great just hate pcmcia form factor of the card.

I've got some localized issues this year in the dorms that were not present in previous years that I need to get to the root cause of, and am thinking it is probably interference based. Therefore, I'm looking at purchasing something to do spectrum analysis with. I've been looking at getting Wi-Spy DBx with software, but have also had good luck in the past with Fluke products and am debating their AirMedic USB kit. Anyone have any suggestions?
