Minimum/Max Frequencies
By default, Wi-Spy settings and specs are optimized for WiFi troubleshooting. The Lab Accessory (a feature unlock in Chanalyzer) adds the ability to change the minimum and max frequencies.
Note: Wi-Spy is tuned with the default frequencies in mind. If the frequencies are changed, your results may vary. That said, we find that it works pretty well.
