A reciever with one built in would be cool too

That particular unit is not that "cool". I know. I had one once. The resolution (in terms of frequency) is way too coarse to be of any use for finding feeds. So that means it's only really useful for dish aiming and tweaking and since it doesn't have it's own display, requiring a monitor in addition to the unit itself, and doesn't have a battery pack to make it portable it's not the best tool for that either. Bottom line is I think youd be better served saving your money and hunting for a good deal on a used portable spectrum analyzer. Anyway, if your still set on getting one smallear used to sell them. So, you might try emailing them but really I wouldn't recommend this unit. The only thing it'll really do for you is make you wish you had bought a real spectrum analyzer.
