It got me thinking about how nice it would be to have Cyclops to play around with.  Their pricing ($919 for a spectrum analyzer) seemed a bit painful.  Of course, seeming how 70's vintage spectrum analyzers and tracking generators are still worth multiple hundreds of dollars, maybe I'm just being a ham.
