Check out this thread in the Amateur Radio forum about using a RTLSDR DVBT USB dongle with free trial software from Touchstone for an inexpensive PC based spectrum analyzer. Simple, fast and accurate!

Interesting. I already have one of those dongles from when I was playing around with Software Defined Radio. I just have to get an "F" adapter as my antenna input is BNC. I'll give this a whirl this weekend.
