    It's free and is a great alternative to iStumbler, MacStumbler, KisMac, etc. The free version shows the BSSID, Network Name, Vendor, Signal strength, Channel, Channel Width, Band, Mode, Generation, Max Rate, Security, and Scan. I would have kept using iStumbler but they decided to charge money for it. This is a great alternative!
