The Band Scanner GPS enables you to evaluate FM broadcast band congestion and to log stations’ identification parameters. This device is a Google Earth compatible tool with a built-in GPS Receiver generating a display of the collected FM Radio measurements. The Log file can be exported as a .kmz file or a transitional format and saved for future analysis.
Pocket-sized and USB-powered, the Band Scanner GPS is the perfect device for field work. This unit can measure RF level, MPX deviation, Left & Right Audio levels, RDS and Pilot injection levels. The measurement results can be easily displayed in Google Earth. The band scan range is from 87 to 108 MHz. The supplied - free of charge - Windows software sweeps the receiver across the FM band, logging every carrier and generating a spectrum display of carrier level vs. frequency. It then analyzes each carrier and creates a station list.
