I have the sig gen and the g6 combo. its the best of both world. love it. it has gone trump various update and it just get better. now, they are offering the hard case and it come with 3 diff antennas. super pleased to have it since I can fine tune my microphones and wireless com systems.
Bonjour, est il possible d'identifier la provenance des ondes émises par les antennes 4/5G ? Quel appareil pour connaître l'intensité ? Mon habitat est un calvaire.... En vous remerciant.
Do you mean distance from the radio transmitter? It depends on the TX model, but you should be able to detect it at 50mts with some practice to differentiate that from other radio activity.
can this be used for long range detection or is it only good for short range distance? The one I have seen only detects rf if it is closer to the transmitter. Which defeats the purpose of rf detection.. Please could someone clarify
This really depends on the transmitter power and the antenna used to detect it, not the analyzer itself. You need the signal detected to be above noise floor. Can you describe the transmitter you are using, antennas and noise floor level you have?
@@RFExplorer I used Anytone 868 radio with 5 watts of power. and it would not detect the signals at a distance of 5 meters.. The antenna used was the same that came with the unit. Surely if another radio is picking up the signals from the main transmitting radio, then this analyzer should do also, right? but it did'nt do that... instead it only detected the signals at very close range of about 1 meter and less... I have no idea of what the noise level was at the time of test.. as no longer have this unit. After initial tests I returned it with disappointment.
@@kchoudri The most likely issue was the antenna you were using. If it is not tuned to 868MHz then it cannot perform well. As you have in the radio, you need specific antenna for specific frequencies.
What is the pulse duration? If higher than 100uS and have multiple pulses, you should be able to detect it using Calculator:Max or MaxHold in Analyzer mode, but you can also use RF Sniffer mode with a PC as a zero-span, much faster detector.
I just bought the 2.4GHZ and I like it. Does anyone know how to Increase the scan rate? Actually I am not sure that the scan rate is my prob as it maybe the software refresh rate that needs adjusting. The display on the hand held unite is great but when I connect to my laptop its very slow and lagging. It would also be nice to have the same type of graphic on my laptop as the LCD display has.
Jon Car RF Explorer includes its own free Windows and MacOS software. To the best of our knowledge it has not been linked with GNURadio yet, but certainly community work may end up adding it to the list of devices supported by GNURadio.

dose this unit scan rc model aircraft transmitter in use,and at what distance?can you give it a test and report?I think they are on 2.4GHZ.Thanks
Yes, it can scan RC model activity, in fact being used in many clubs to coordinate number of pilots, power levels, etc.
Thanks for the reply,but would you have any idea or experience the max distance it will operate please?

I still don’t know how to use mine

@@RFExplorer However I would be up for another try of this device . Thinking i MIght have received a faulty unit.

@@kchoudri Open a support request if you find issues with your unit at support.rf-explorer.com
Can this unit display radar signals that are very short duration particularly 1030MHz radar?
What is the pulse duration? If higher than 100uS and have multiple pulses, you should be able to detect it using Calculator:Max or MaxHold in Analyzer mode, but you can also use RF Sniffer mode with a PC as a zero-span, much faster detector.
can this pinpoint where the signal is coming from? like a mobile phones exact location, by picking up the wifi hotspot sent from the phone?
Yes, you need to use a directional antenna so the exact direction can be scanned
Do you have a guide of how to use these units? We have a 2.4/ 5.8 unit and i have never used it yet.Thanks Mick
Hi, yes please check on the user manual: www.rf-explorer.com/manual
lets see the FM and HF bands
Can be used to measure C band thanks
Yes, you can measure uplink range limited to 5.925 to 6.1GHz but no downlink range.
Trying to get hold of someone to check an order and delivery time is near impossible.
impressive. just got one. adding 2.4 ghz module now. Hope it talks with Mac and the App I downloaded from the App Store.

Will this do 40M and 10M?
Hi, yes the RF Explorer WSUB1G PLUS covers full range from 50KHz to 960MHz
Check for more details: rf-explorer.com/WSUB1GPSLIM
do you have a unit that can do both 2.4 and 5.8 ghz?
Jon Car Yes, we do, thanks for asking. Please check our model RF Explorer 6G Combo: www.seeedstudio.com/depot/RF-Explorer-6G-Combo-p-2197.html
RFExplorer does your unit work with GNUradio OS? gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/GNURadioLiveDVD

Ok thanks!
Should have had a higher resolution display but pretty good for the price
Plug it into a microsoft surface tablet for a portable and more detailed app
Your product music has no right to pump this hard. 😁
Looks like a Texas Instruments graphing calculator running assembler software. :)
This song made me buy a new RFexp slim combo.
Invaluable for LoRa UHF and WiFi IoT
Really awesome unit, but mine doesn't play music.
I have a couple of these units and find them very handy for ATV and RC.
Waiting for the 5GHz plug-in module...
When you make 5G8?
We are working on that, hopefully we can offer it really soon. This was released 2 years ago.
On January are ready up to 6GHz
Why don't you try talking instead of reaming my ears out?
we use text because is much easier for non-english speakers to use the video material.
Yeah... lose the dumb ass music loop and say something
