Recomendations for a spectrum analyser

I guess we have to call for a price.

Seems like price would depend on exactly what specs/features you would want, there is a bit of a selection to choose from.

At first glance they don't look cheap but if you consider what all the separate devices it replaces would cost they're kind of a bargain, just not sure if there would be some reason why they aren't suitable for what we're doing. That much capability in that small a package almost seems to good to be true.

I know that with these digital scopes the sampling rates and such can be as/more important than analog bandwidth and if those specs ain't right it won't do the job even if the bandwidth it's rated for looks good, I don't know just what I should be looking for in these specs though. Can anyone who knows look those specs over and give an opinion on using one of these for hobby level CB work?

Also they have logic analyzer and pattern generator options in certain packages, looks digital data related to me. Am I correct in assuming these functions would serve no purpose for CB work?

That's a very good point regarding the sampling rate!

The logic analyzer and pattern generator seem related to pulse width modulation maybe this could be useful for frequency hacking the new radios that use an m.c.u. other than that use somebody else want to chime in because I can't see too many other places where those features would be useful in CB! BusPirate and FTDI uart programmer can be used to do the same thing with the Bearcat 980, I know because I saw it on YouTube LOL.
