[Elecraft] The Technical Side of Ham Radio

[Alan]

I have a "Signal Hound" USB-SA-44B, which is a 1 Hz to 4.4 GHz spectrum 
analyzer that uses a PC for power and the user interface.  It currently 
goes for $919.  I've been pretty happy with it.

They also offer an optional USB-TG44A tracking generator for $599, which 
I don't have.
