Gary,

I use a Tektronix 2712 with an Electro-Metrics antenna for NRSC 
measurements.  I can accommodate stations in the Midwest.

When measuring harmonics, you have to bear in mind that the line 
section sample output is not constant with frequency.  As you go up 
in frequency, the sample output level increases.  Consequently, you 
get a measurement that appears worse than it actually is.  In short, 
the analyzer is an accurate way to measure harmonics if you apply the 
appropriate correction factor.

The analyzer is not a good way to net the frequency of a Marti ENG or 
an STL.  I use an IFR FM/AM1000S Service Monitor.
