If you use wireless networks in a busy area you could probably do with a spectrum analyser, and hacker Jason Hecker has designed just what you're after.

That's a neat lil' tool - I'm definately tempted to make one just for messing purposes.

It is a USB plug. Like the Advanced Willem EPROM blowers you can build it uses the rather handy +5V at 500mA available from a USB port for power. Sadly, there's no USB controller present on board so it needs the parallel port for data transfer. You could build a parallel-to-USB adaptor on to the circuit board, but then it's not quite as easy a build.
