A spectrum analyzer contains a number of improvements that adapt it to common commercial uses. The spectrum analyzer is capable of automatically wirelessly receiving and synchronizing frequency spectrum data collected from multiple remote spectrum analyzers with respect to frequency, time and location. A selector function is used to create composite frequency data sets from multiple frequency data sets while allowing retroactive identification and examination of the original frequency data. An improved non-linear graphical display of the frequency spectrum data is created by automatically expanding the resolution of frequency axis for frequency ranges having signals of interest and contracting the resolution of the frequency axis of frequency ranges having no signals of interest.
