Hey RF nerds, Today I have to show you something cool. I call it the pocket rocket RF Scanner; it fits in your pocket and is very portable; now let us be clear: it isn't as defined as the pro scanners, but if you are out and about and need some reference images of what the environment is looking like, it's the perfect size to carry around with you, especially if you get called last minute to help a fellow RF tech with RF issues, and you dont have your pelican with you.

Here is the pocket rocket RF Scanner (My Nickname for it). It is super portable and scans 500kHz—1.7 Ghz. I have this version V3, and it works like a treat. Below, I have listed some items I purchased with it to make it all work.
