No.. It IS a spectrum analyzer (of sorts).  I have the older one that uses a 
raw bluetooth radio chip, jacked up to scan the entire 2.4GHz spectrum and 
display several forms of spectrogram.  A color waterfall display, and ASCII 
(console), and can display a spectral, topographic and planar view of the 
spectrum (IIRC).  It can display microwave and phone interference, and much 
more:

I recommend one for anyone who does serious wifi consulting.

I demo'd my unit last year:

(the noise band on the left is what I see if I hook the device directly up to 
my laptop.. it is "laptop RF noise". :)
