Indeed it is, Ian.  And superior in many ways to very expensive lab 
equipment, particularly in its frequency resolution. And the SVGA, which 
does an even higher resolution FFT, significantly improves that 
resolution.  To see examples of how it can be used as a test instrument, 
see http://k9yc.com/FTDX5000_Report.pdf

Note also that even very inexpensive modern SDR receivers have excellent 
spectrum analysis capabilities, but, like the K3/P3, must be properly 
calibrated. See
