A compact pocket-size RF activity indicator for the 2.4–2.524 GHz Wi-Fi band for detecting wireless system signals, including 2.4 GHz UAV control and data links.
The detector steps through 128 channels in 1 MHz increments and shows signal strength with three LEDs: one — weak, two — medium, three — strong. An additional beeper lets you monitor the air without constantly looking at the device. Reception range is up to ~1.1 km line of sight for a +20 dBm transmitter.
It comes with a 2 dBi whip antenna on an SMA connector; a directional antenna can be connected instead to find the signal source by direction. The 600 mAh Li-ion battery provides more than 10 hours of operation and charges from USB 5 V. The 100 × 66 × 27 mm impact-resistant aluminum housing fits in a pocket. The device only indicates the presence of a signal and is not designed for analysis or suppression.
Key Advantages
- 2.4–2.524 GHz range, 128 channels
