[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 49492, member: 158"] Re: RF Spectrum Analyzer to rent? Okay, i've got it 'in hand' so i thought i'd share some impressions. First some pictures. [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7112/6997353139_1a0f6edf93.jpg[/img] i have to say it arrived more quickly than i anticipated considering it got it direct from hong kong. i think total wait time was maybe 10 days. And shipping was free, so yay to that. [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7196/6997353921_a4368e8f72.jpg[/img] Packing was perfectly adequate. i particularly liked the zip lock antistatic bags. Never saw those before. Since i ordered the 24GgHz version with an add on SUB1G card, this is how it came. Installing the card was pretty simple. and they have online instructions available, but i of course ignored those and soldiered on without them. [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7051/6997355009_8fb6c4495e.jpg[/img][img]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6092/6851230042_0a72a802a8.jpg[/img] Card plugs into the daughter board connector and the antenna mount goes through the hole in the top of the case. the bolt on the antenna mount is the only thing holding the board on except for friction from the connector which seems a bit flimsy, but frankly once the case is closed the card can't leave the connector anyway. [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7137/6851230632_7e949dd7d9.jpg[/img] Here's the whole works plugged in with a blurry close up of the connector that plugs in. the black part to the right is the plug. there is no other connection or mount between the boards. [img]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6239/6851231794_ec3ab33a4a.jpg[/img] And here it is all put together and looking pretty. Magic Mouse provided for scale. And 'cause it's nifty. [img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7133/6851232350_9ccab26637.jpg[/img][img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7249/6997359315_d17d6a0607.jpg[/img] Here you can see the usb connector on the bottom that allows you to charge the unit and to hook it up to your PC or Mac. [img]http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6055/6851232912_1f4a850815.jpg[/img] so that's what it looks like. stay tuned for still more...
