A spectrum analyzer because I like toys.
HP 8569-B.
During my radar days I was tasked to write a user guide/instruction set for specific tasks relevant to pre-flight check
alignment and calibration. Seeing side lobe suppression at work was pretty amazing.

I still want one of those beasts. Just because.

10 MHz to 22GHz is a tad outside the useful range for me.
But thanks for the tip. $900 is a far cry from the 5 figure sums those beasts cost in the decade that I was using them.
Military and FAA shops always had/have the best toys.

Same, I'd settle for DC to 100 kHz, though being able to see RF issues is also handy.
When in doubt, add resistance.
