"Now Idon't know exactly what they put in that little USB pod, but it's unlikely it has the expensive dual-conversion superheterodyne signal chain, the interdigital varactor tunable filters, the low-noise Gallium-arsenide preamps, and the other expensive features of a real spectrum analyzer."

Faster? Nah. More reliable? Hell yah.

I never whine about getting fragged in an online deathmatch because someone reheated a cup of coffee in the microwave, or the phone rang, or the channel 5 news van ran a remote feed too close to my house.

I whine because the guy was CAMPING AND THATS LIKE TOTALLY GHEY MAN STFU N00B kekekekekeke
