[aprssig] Service monitors

Can anyone recommend a good, affordable service monitor?  I'm assuming just
about anything would be OK for setting deviation and such, but I also want a
spectrum analyzer and the ability to show recovered FM audio to examine
packet waveforms and analyze preemphasis.  Operation up to 500 MHz would be
good, but I'd settle for 200 MHz.

The HP 8920A with appropriate options looks good - I just got outbid on
eBay, though.  Guess I'll have to wait for another one to come around.  I'm
hoping to find something under $2500.  Might have got it this time if I'd
been about 10 seconds later on my bid.

Any suggestions?
