Without a sweep generator, you really can't peak the band pass. 
Actually what I do is peak for max signal and then check swr and power 
in and out of the cavity so see what it looks like and how much loss 
there is.  Band reject and notches are quite easy with an ht.  Output is 
not available at the output to the computer.  As I said in a previous 
note, output is a set of concentric knobs, larger knob clicks through 
various ranges and the smaller innter knob if variable, for example on 
second range, from about .15 to l.7 as i recall, forget what is in db. 
I think each range is ten db in microvolts and ranges overlap.
