Frequency alteration possibility

[Art Towslee]

I want to use the analyzer to view the 2390 to 2450 MHz Ham Radio band. Is it possible to alter the analyzer lower frequency limit software from 2400 to 2390? I have a transmitter on 2398MHz which is slightly below the analyzer lower limit.

Hello Art,

This is not a possiblity at this time.

Thanks,

Hi Art,

Although there are possible feature enhancements to allow for user adjustments to the scanned frequency, there are no plans at this time to support non-WiFi frequency ranges. 2 GHz wifi range is officially between 2400 and 2485 so that's the range most wifi chip manufacturers go after. And certainly for a low-cost device like this, finding a chipset that covers other ranges is very prohibitive. You'll need a very high priced spectrum analyzer to do what you're looking for.

Ramin Akhbari,

I assumed the frequency limits are software driven in the controlling PC and thereby modifiable. I thought it could be a patch in the code to allow this. From your description, it may not be the case. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a spectrum analyzer but it doesn't go to 2.4GHz so if your analyzer software was capable of being tweaked down to even 2395 or so, it would be great. If you would charge to make the change, how much would it cost. As an alternate, if you would share just the source code portion to enable me to make the change, that would work also.

How can I reply privately?

Kind regards,

Hi Art,

BTW, somehow you posted your same reply 3 times. Please take care when clicking the submit button.

No sir, that assumption is wrong. That was the point of my reply. The AirView2 device is only capable of scanning the 2400 to 2485 MHz range, period. Even when we put in the capability to configure/adjust scan range and sample rate, it will still be limited to the device's capable range. In other words the user will be able to for example reduce the scan range to 2412 to 2432, effectively zooming in on a subset of the device's capable range. But there'll be no option for setting the range "outside" the device capable range. And the range you mentioned is outside the device's capabilities.

We really discourage private messages since the whole point of a discussion forum is for others to benefit from answers to questions that have already been asked.

Cheers, :)

Thank you for your reply,

I understand now.

By the way, I must be doing something wrong in my replies. The reason I replied 3 times is because I got an error message the first time so I sent it again not knowing that even though I got an error message it was posted anyhow. It said "general device error" . The next times I changed it but later found that all were posted.

I'm new to this forum so the format is rather strange. I was going to recall the erroneous ones but didn't know how. Sorry.

Here is the error message I get each time I reply. I assume when it says Email message failed, it is not posted. The following is the actual message.

Failed sending email :: PHP ::

DEBUG MODE

That error comes up mebbe once a month for me. Don't worry, your post gets posted.

ROFL...it just happen again to me.

I was also hoping the AirView could cover the extended ranges that the other products could.

It sound like a hardware limitation, but I'm not sure what chipset the AirView uses.

I do like the idea mentioned in a few other threads on a custom firmware that could be loaded on a NanoStation or Bullet to give similar a Spectrum View. The added bonus is that once again would take cable loss out of the equation. A POE bullet with the functionality of AirView would be awesome.
