hand-held wifi scanners ??

[nic777]

Hi,

I'm looking for a handy wireless network scanner so I can setup my access points and antenna to get the best performance.

I normally use a laptop but its getting a bit clunky as now I am installing APs in difficult-to-reach places.

I see miro has one: http://www.miro.co.za/stage/intranet/datasheet.php?id=158

Has anyone used this one?
Is it good?
Recommend any other products?
How would I know that I'm testing my wireless network and not someone elses open network ?

What do YOU use to test line of site and signal strength??

Thanks

perhaps something fancy like this (http://www.bvsystems.com/Products/WLAN/Yellowjacket/yellowjacket.htm) might help. Its in the US though.
