A few years + ago, when I was working at a firm that produced gear for VHF band II transmitters, I regularly used an Anritsu spectrum analyser that lived on my test bench. That analyser had a tracking generator built in - and made measurements a lot easier than would have been the case without. Here, at home, I use an Advantest TR4132 S/A: it lacks a tracking gen. - and as such its usefulness it quite restricted in comparison, especially when it comes to determining bandwidth / freq. response of things like WBAs and filters, etc.
