The Wi-SPY devices are fairly affordable. And they support remote monitoring both with Windows and Linux. So you could set one up in a small linux box that you leave on site and just let it log and you can view the data remotely from your Windows machine over the network or go and pickup the unit and view the log data that way. So will do just what you want. Also the frequency resolution the Wi-Spy devices offer is better then what I normally set my real SA on when I check out radio cards or check out signals. Very capable devices IMO there is no reason why a WISP shouldn't have at least one of these in their toolbox. I can understand why many do not want to buy a expensive spectrum analyzer for $3k+ for the simpler ones but in all reality be able to track down signal sources and interference as a WISP is a must. I know some people are using like Canopy SM's to do this but they interface is slow and clunky and don't log any data.

Interferences could be from many sources. It sa problem because you can't just go sit there for a couple of weeks with a spectrum analyzer listening for noise. It would be nice if there was a reasonably priced logger. Or with Internet connectivity. All this is probably a pipe dream as I have never seen anything with such functionality.
