Yeah, the narrow sweep is one of the main limitations of the SDR-based SA. However, as with most test equipment, it all depends on what your requirements are. Expanding the limit to 500 MHz sounds interesting.

was pretty skeptical that a 1khz to 2 ghz SA could be acquired for 120 bucks...….but hey.....this little thing seems to work.
attached is a 20m sweep of my 5btv vertical antenna.
test set up was an sg-677/u sweep generator modified to sweep 100x more slowly than usual, and an amtronix sw1200n return loss bridge feeding the sdrplay with peak hold enabled.
the aussie gentleman who wrote the SA software promises that the current 10Mhz sweep limit will be expanded to 500 Mhz in the near future.
ok....its not an hp8568a. BUT it fits in your pocket and IT WAS 120 BUCKS w/free shipping from hro........AND the 35dB return loss it shows matches what my aim4170 indicates for that antenna.
could not be more pleased with this limey hardware/aussie software combination. (now how come they got this to work.....but can't get their crappers to flush in the same direction?)

The latter is just pure physics and if they ever did flush in the same direction then we're all doomed, as the world would have been nuked.

You guys are probably joking, but just to make sure as it's a common misconception.

I did wonder if anyone was going to take the bait :-DD
