Gary, We are looking to purchase a device along the same lines. From my research so far, I think that you are going to be hard pressed to find a good layer 1 and layer 2 device any cheaper than a few grand. We are currently looking to getting a YellowJacket from www.bvsystems.com which starts at around $2800. I think it may be cheaper if you already have a compatible iPaq. It sounds like it might be a great tool to have. Network Magazine had an article about various tools that mentions it and other tools: http://www.networkmagazine.com/article/NMG20030305S0001
This was a good/informative article. Talked about the diffs tween 802.11a and 802.11b and the various tools tuend for detecting either. The number of devices and variations of software that can detect and deal with both was pretty limited. Folks auditing for rogue AP's and such might find it the best starting point for their tools search. There's more of a need to noe and monitor both frequencies these days.
