Looking at 2.4/5.8GHz WiFi spectrum analysis hardware and software
bundles for indoor use.  Anyone have one?  Use it regularly?  Provide
a service?

MetaGeek WiSpyDBX and RiverBed AirPCapNX have always sounded good to
me because they supported OpenSource tools i used - mainly WireShark.
Both support 2.4 and 5 GHz analysis of WiFi and non WiFi RF.  The
MetaGeek combo of both pieces of hardware and software is ~$2400, but
only see a need for one hardware WiFi device.
