I added several notes to the initial post.

Rabbit73,

For less than $20, an SDR dongle can get you started with an inexpensive, albeit slow, SA. http://www.edn.com/electronics-blogs...analyzer---SDR

Amplifying antenna is A MUST DO!
And, for many other people, it's a DON'T. There is math involved in these decisions if they are to be made in a considered manner. Otherwise, it's about the same as throwing you-know-what against a wall to see what sticks. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

The "fringe" area amp I used was one of the discontinued Winegards, I forget which, either an AP8700 or AP8800. Both overloaded easily.
