Jeff,

Did you see my post regarding the HomeRF-based spectrum analyzer
program? Do you have this one or any other that uses FHSS
adapters for poor-man's spectrum analysis?

Regards,

Michael

Yeah. I'm buried in work. 10-12 hour days including weekends. That
will end in a few days and I'll try to catch up with postings.
Meanwhile, I have 4 of the Proxim something cards somewhere. They're
all rather insensitive. The "survey" program that comes with the
Proxim driver is really slow to sweep the band. It only covers Ch
1-11, not 13-14. It only runs on W98, WinME, and W2K. Won't run on
XP or Vista. In my never humble opinion, it's a bad idea for anything
other than tinkering. I once posted a video clip of what the screen
looks like to show the lousy sweep speed, but I removed it after the
hits went to zero.

There are also a bunch of similar cards and software being sold on
eBay. I know nothing about them.

See:
<http://www.metageek.net>
for Wi-Spy. I have one of the originals. Works fine but is also
rather insensitive. Search this newsgroup for my comments on it.

Digging through my bookmarks mess:

Now, go away for a while so I can work.

I found it:
<http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/crud/Proxim7400-01.avi> (2.5MBytes)
This is my access point on Ch1. I think it was the slow sweep mode.
Medium and fast mode don't show much spectra. Yech.

Nope. Never heard of it, never downloaded it, no time to try it.
Maybe later.

Please, no more projects for a while.
