In order to conduct a systematic microwave search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), NASA is planning to use an advanced multichannel spectrum analyzer (MCSA) capable of resolving the input bandwidth into at least 10 million narrowband channels. To verify the digital architecture that NASA is proposing to use to construct such an instrument, a 74,000 channel prototype, the MCSA 1.0, has been built and deployed in the field. This paper discusses the results of the field tests, implications for other components of an automated SETI observing system, and plans to use the MCSA 1.0 to carry out some more traditional radio astronomy observations.
