The one I suggest goes to 6 Ghz

I can't imagine that pulsed digital transmission on 10Ghz would not create noise in the lower harmonics bands at all. The meter also have a sound mode where you eg. can hear the ~8-10Khz modulation of the mobile ~700/900/1900/2100Mhz signal.

You can clearly hear the difference between different transmission types as DECT phones, Wifi, GSM/LTE, and EM noise in general(PC's/HDMI cables/USB3 HD docks)

My central room heater has a small CR battry powered computer (that I had forgot all about) that calculate the bill and transmit the results every 2 minutes on 2.4Ghz

it makes a tiny ~0.5 sec pulse on the display/audio, and I thought for an hour that I had a hidden transmitter in my apartment, since turning the mains fuse off had no effect.

I had to clear the room of all tech to track down the source, felt a bit stupid when I finally found it.

So going down this road has some up's and down's vs staying totally oblivious of ones electromagnetic environment.




Appreciate the extra info. Might look into getting one. Lmao on the mystery of spying heater.
