Hey mate this looks really great! I've dreamed about building something similar for an RTLSDR, but much fancier (ping-pong on 'interesting' chirps, yo-yo sweeps to find voice/burst comms, trended plots etc etc). A poor man's wideband spectrum analyser. But I can't code to save my life.. However, wait long enough and funny things happen :) You've made a great start with this project, especially given there was NOTHING out there prior (that I've seen anyhow. Certainly for Win32.) All the module/package dependencies are a bit of a pain but hey, you've got a working app :) Love to try it soon when I get a chance, hope you develop it up into a full-bllown RTLSDR spectrum analyser / "interesting signal" finder!
Cheers ben

Hi,
I thought you may be interested in a program I've written, it's a Python GUI which scans a set of frequencies and plots the resulting levels, which can be saved for later viewing or exported to a CSV file.

I wrote it to help me find signals over a wide bandwidth, to get a better view of the RF space. I hope you find it useful.
