Is there a downconverter for 2.4ghz. I have a ratshack 2005 with
optoscan456. I would like to explore the 2.4ghz band.

Yes, but they're test equipment accessories, and expensive.

Look at www.avcomofva.com under Analyzer Accessories.

They will downconvert the specified frequencies to 1-1000 megacycles
as covered by their PSA-65C spectrum analyzer. Will work with
anything, but you would have to add your own 12VDC. Whatever modes
your receiver can demodulate will be the same.

Do a Google search on the part number for sources to buy. Prices seem
to be fixed, and Avcom doesn't sell direct.

Sensitivity is pretty good on the things.
