OMFG I can't wait for the Wi-Spy with external SMA
I’ve been eyeing the Wi-Spy for some time, but now that I’m beginning to get into licensed microwave wireless comms, it’s looking even better.
The MetaGeek forums have been promising a new version with an SMA connector for the last six months, and I have a good feeling that its release is finally imminent. Quite possibly the best dollar per unit coolness value in any piece of test/measurement equipment available today.
Those of you who know me at all well know I like elaborate instrumentation. I wish I could ’see’ from the ultrasonic to microwave as well as IR and visible light spectra, and would have an oscilloscope implanted into my iris if I could think of something cool to hook it up so. When I read Dan Simmons’ Hyperion quartet, I wished I was one of the Ousters, whose modifications allow them to visualize EM fields, gravimetric currents, and other things humans weren’t meant to see.
So, the prospect of these cool visualizations of the 2.4GHz ISM bands is very appealing. Dammit, how much longer ’til the SMA version?
