If you have an Android smartphone, or preferably a tablet, then these apps combined with your new sdr dongle will make a great handheld portable spectrum analyser.
RF Analyser and SDRtouch are the apps to look for in the playstore.
RF Analyser covers a slabwidth up to 2MHz you can select when you type in what frequency you want, or the default width is 1 MHz, and it shows a waterfall too.
The frequency coverage is anywhere that the dongle will normally tune to (using sdrsharp etc) and you can scroll back and forth up and down the bands, or directly key in what centre frequency you want.
SDR touch requires a small payment to make it go, but its handy.
You need to use the cable that came with your android device to allow a normal sized usb device to plug in.The rtl dongle runs off the internal battery of the phone or tab. just plug in an aerial and off you go.
