[Boatanchors] Spectrum Analyzer ??

[jfor at quik.com]

The 7CT1 is sought after.

As to SA PIs there are a number:

7L5   low audio to 5 MHz

7L12, 13, & 14   IF to about 1800 MHz

7L18  to 60 GHz or more

For general RF work a -12, -13, or -14 are most useful. Some have digital
storage.

There are specs on line.

Best,
