The
new Digital Scout RF frequency recorder / field strength meter
is the second in a line of nearfield instruments capable of
counting digital signals, as well as analog signals. Until
now, the only signals that a frequency counter could lock
onto were analog signals. In addition to locking onto digital
and analog signals, the Digital Scout has a calibrated signal
strength measurement from -45dBm to -5dBm.
DIGITAL
MODULATIONS
The
Digital Scout is capable of detecting many different types
of digital modulations that have a minimum pulse width of
500uS, signals such as TDMA, GSM, APCO 25, ON/OFF Keying,
TETRA and more. Spread Spectrum modulation (CDMA) has shorter
pulse widths than 500uS, therefore the Digital Scout is not
capable of detecting those signals.
SIGNAL
STRENGTH
Another
breakthrough feature of the Digital Scout is the calibrated
field strength measurement provided on the two line LCD display.
The Digital Scout displays field strength in dBm with a signal
strength bargraph serving as a reference. The Digital Scout
reads and displays signal levels from -45dBm to -5dBm with
an accuracy of +/- 5dBm. This feature is great for checking
nearfield RF levels at remote sites, locating hidden transmitters,
determining power levels from two-way radios and more.
REACTION
TUNE
The
Digital Scout incorporates the patented Optoelectronics feature,
Reaction Tune. In Reaction Tune mode the Digital Scout captures
a frequency and automatically tunes a compatible receiver
to that frequency. This allows the user to instantly monitor
the audio of the captured signal (analog signals only). Those
receivers compatible with the Digital Scout for Reaction Tune
are as follows.
ICOM
IC R10, R7000, R7100, R8500, R9000. AOR AR8000 and AR8200.

PC
INTERFACE
The Digital Scout
has a built-in CI-5 interface that can be used to interface
to the Optoelectronics Optolinx for downloading frequencies
saved to memory. This interface allows for direct connection
to the Optolinx which in turn interfaces directly to serial
port on a PC.
ADDITIONAL
FEATURES
The Digital Scout
has a unique way of displaying the frequency measured. Like
most conventional frequency counters, the Digital Scout will
display the actual measured frequency coming from a transmitter,
such as 454.1247. However, the Digital Scout can also display
the actual channel frequency of the transmitter, such as 454.1250.
This is especially useful to the two way radio professional
when programming new radios.
The Digital Scout
has 1000 memories with up to 65,000 hits per memory. Memory
can then be downloaded directly to a PC using the Optolinx
interface.
Single frequency
range from 60MHz-2.6GHz.
