Tucker (www.tucker.com) has some inexpensive really old HP series, but
they are really boatanchors.  Yet of very high quality.  I forget the
series number.  Hameg and another company has modern ones that are a
couple K$. (the min IF BW sucks) The real deal from Agilent costs $35K
and up.  

You may be able to use one of the new freq counters from
Optoelectronics.  They are portable and have an antenna and high gain
front end for use in sniffing out RF sources.  I hear they've been used
at DefCon for sniffing out the FBI freq's and such.

Have fun.  Rob.
