A small handheld battery operated spectrum analyzer went on the market and covers up to 960 mHz. Price is around $50 and has lots of features. It could be used for OTA signal checking. The $50 tinySA spectrum analyzer is here!

I might get one for general tinkering as my main spec analyzer weighs about 40 pounds. Too bad it doesn't scan up to 1500 mHz for use with FTA IF signals.
 
Why does the picture have two coaxes? In and out?
The inset picture shows the upper input is labeled "HIGH" (240-969MHz) and the lower "LOW" (100KHz-350MHz).

What is difficult to guess is why there's a bidirectional arrow on both ports.

The R&L website has a more comprehensive rundown of what's there.

Not sure why they chose 50 ohm in that frequency range.

look at the link in post #1, the vendor *+* will honor the existing price, 49.95, also at the bottom of that web page , there are coax adapters for the unit, where others have almost doubled in price (? clones , )
 
Well look what the mail lady delivered today! Sure is small compared to my nanoVNA H4.
