Gary, I recently acquired a Toshiba e740 for that purpose. It's a reasonably priced and perfectly competent little Windows CE device. But I've also found that its wireless capabilities are limited due to the small amount of power available. First, running with the built-in antenna enabled depletes a full battery in under an hour. Second, you need to be pretty danged close to an AP to detect it. As for software, PocketWarrior (www.pocketwarrior.org), and Cirond's Winc (www.cirond.com/site/products/wifispotter), along with the built-in Windows CE "Wireless LAN Utility" does the trick. Finding these limitations though has sent me in search of a better solution. From NetStumbler.org I found reference to www.fab-corp.com, where they offer LinkSys and DLink "starter kits" (antennas and cables), as well as NICs, etc. I hear they offer special discounts for "net stumblers". But I haven't tried out any of those solutions or compared prices yet. Best of luck, Dan Lynch County of Placer Auburn, CA >>> Gary Nugent <garynugentat_private> 03/12/03 10:27AM >>> Hello, there, I am looking for anyone who has had experience with a combined (pref. PDA) device for signal detection/analysis. I am familiar with the Fluke Ipaq-based product (http://www.flukenetworks.com/us/LAN/Handheld+Testers/WaveRunner/Overview.htm), but it is quite expensive (app. $2500 US or more). The rogue AP detection is a crucial part of this. Any thoughts?
