An update: the round tuit pile is a little smaller. I built a probe of 500R using three resistors, an old scope probe and some 50R coax. Had a brief play around and the Spectrum Analyser seems to work well. The only problem is one of the "cells" on the digital scale is out, so you have to be careful your 4's aren't 9's and your 1's aren't 7's. Not too worried for the moment though.
Thanks for all the help and advice guys, several of you have really gone above and beyond to teach me, so thanks.
Bill.
