JiWire's quick take
Likes
Fraction of the size and cost of other spectrum analyzers, saves data for replay and export, customizable graphs, simple interface.
Dislikes
Can't accept external antenna, only works on 2.4GHz band, can't identify signal sources directly, needs more interpretive guidance, Mac software not available yet.
Good for
Home and small office Wi-Fi users trying to determine the sources of network interference, and how to avoid them.
Bad for
Large site administrators who need a wider frequency range, and deeper diagnostic tools.
