Spectrum - With the Scout Spectrum CD ROM Spectrum CD Rom you can download all of your saved frequencies to compare against the Spectrum FCC database. Spectrum is an authorized FCC database for the entire United States. Frequencies can be looked up by City, County, State, Service Code, or Company and printed to reports or reviewed on screen. With Scout support, frequency downloads can even be reviewed in reports.
PLUG & PLAY
With the New SAC8000,
Reaction Tuning your AR8000 is
a matter of plugging in the cable
and capturing frequencies. The
SAC8000 consists of a new bat-
tery cover with notch for Reaction
Tune access, cable with ribbon
adapter, and velcro. No modifica-
tion necessary to the AR8000.

NEW TECHNOLOGY

The Scout® is the latest advancement in hand-held frequency counters; a frequency recorder that excels at finding and recording frequencies for security, law enforcement, and recreational monitoring applications. The Scout frequency recorder is a revolutionary device that can record up to 400 unique frequencies and store them in memory. The Scout is similar to a conventional frequency counter, in that it measures the frequency of any transmission from 10MHz-1.4GHz that is ten to fifteen dB greater that the ambient RF level, however, the Scout distinguishes itself from a frequency counter by being able to differentiate between random noise and coherent RF transmissions. This exclusive feature developed and patented by Optoelectronics is called Digital Filter and Auto Capture. This feature allows the Scout to record frequency transmissions automatically. An embedded microcontroller evaluates each measurement to determine when an actual RF frequency is dominant, this is the digital filter processing which makes automatic capture and recording possible.

FINDING FREQUENCIES

The Scout features a custom ten-digit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which can be seen easily in daylight and an electroluminescent (EL) backlight for night operation. For discreet recording, the Scout, small enough to fit in your pocket, has a built-in pager style vibrator to alert you when frequencies are recorded. It also has a distinctive double beep that informs you when a new frequency is found and a single beep indicates that a previously recorded frequency has been hit again. A 16 - segment bargraph is on the LCD front panel display which provides a real time relative indication of RF signal strength. There is also an LED front panel indicator which flashes each time a measurement is successfully completed.

SERIAL INTERFACE

The serial interface on the the Scout conforms to the CI-V interface standard. It allows the unit to be connected to a PC for downloading stored information. An Optoelectronics OptoLinx is required to interface the Scout to a PC.

REACTION TUNE ®
photo When it comes to scanning, nothing can capture the excitement like Scout Reaction Tune®. When connected to an AOR AR8000/2700, Scout Reaction Tune® becomes as easy as walking or driving down the street. As a matter of fact, just like the photos shown here, that's exactly how portable it is. The beauty of Reaction Tuning is that it allows you to capture frequencies in out of the way places or areas that you wouldn't normally take your scanner. How many times have you wanted to know which frequency someone was operating on so you could listen in? When connected to the AR8000 using the photo optional SAC8000 The Scout can capture a frequency and then tune the scanner to that frequency simultaneously. No more manual tuning of your scanner, let the Scout do it for you. Once the Scout captures a frequency, it logs it into one of its 400 memories, and tunes the receiver in less than a second. The Scout will also tell you how many times each frequency in memory has been hit. You can even scroll back through the memories to later tune the scanner with Memory Tuningtm.

The Scout will Reaction Tune the following receivers:
A Pro-2005 or 2006 (when equipped with an OptoScan456 board), Pro-2035 or 2042 (when equipped with an OptoScan535 board) ICOM R7000, R7100 or R9000, and AOR AR8000 and AR2700.

Protect your Scout!
