MetaGeek, LLC has a cool little USB device that allows you to scope out interference on wireless spectrums. It will do a spectrum analysis and see interference from the following items:
Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n)
Microwave Ovens
Cordless Phones
Baby Monitors
Bluetooth

Some parts of it (those that were not destroyed during WWII) still radiate. I hope it won’t have a major effect on the W-Lan cause I intend using it a lot!
