Cheap way to do RTA?

HI guys, I've looked at FAQ and done a few Google searches, but don't see a modest price solution...

I now own a RTA mic (DBX), PA+, Touch iPod and a Macbook and a Yamaha mixer. I'm looking for a cheap and easy way to do RTA in a room, to see what the response curve looks like.

Based on what I've read here, the PA+ will not show a spectrum analysis. I have some sort of audio tools product on my touch, but they want $400 for an interface between my RTA mic and the Touch.

Is there a modest priced way to use the DBX mic and create response graphs? I'm hoping with the hardware I own it's $100 or less, but recognize I will need phantom power to make this work.

Any suggestions? Thanks, Kent

    Not true, the DRPA won't but the PA+ will.. live spectrograph...simply press the lower right hand button (RTA)
