If you are thinking of some kind of monitor like we had on 72, forget it. Spread systems operate on many frequencies,not just one. Spectrums first systems chose two 1mhz bands and randomly hopped around in those two bands. Frequency hopping systems hop over the entire 4mhz band. Wht you will see even with a spectrum Analyzer is nothing more than increase in noise when a system turns on.
If the band is entirely wiped out you would see it on the analyzer but I dont think you will ever see that
