It's my understanding from reading previous posts that VSA has new spikes for the VR 4 jr's. I recall some posts saying that VSA has just sent them on request. I haven't made the call yet due to my we .......

You'd need some spectrum analysis software, which can be available as freeware or shareware. If there's a huge drop off at 20k then it was sourced as MP3 and converted to wave. Here's a link showing w .......
