Thanks,
Except for a few scanners in the thousand dollar range most scanners top out
at 1.3ghz to 1.5ghz. I find it hard to believe that I am the only one
looking for a downconventer in the 2.4ghz range. A google search yields very
little. There are so many cheap devices using 2.4ghz, why is it so hard for
someone to develop a cheap 2.4 downconverter?

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.
