[time-nuts] Software defined spectrum analyzer

[John Miles]

I don't have a lot of experience with it, having bought it mostly for
amusement and to see what was inside, but it does live up to its specs as
far as I could tell.  If your measurement was somehow limited by the 8566B's
10 Hz resolution bandwidth or its highpass response above 100 Hz, then the
Signal Hound would be an improvement.  It's a very competent measurement
receiver for narrowband signals.
