For $270, you can get more than an RTA.

For that money, I would recommend a Dayton Omnimic. I have one and use it frequently. The software is full featured but also easy to use. You get a kit with the Omnimic software, test files, and a calibrated USB mic. The mic has a built-in pre and ADC so you just plug it into your computer.

You can use the same mic with the free Room Eq Wizard (REW) software, which is more complex and a bit harder to use, but it does do a few things better than the Omnimic software.

For a few bucks less you could buy a Behringer ECM8000 and a cheap mixer with mic pre, and use that with REW.
