Technical specifications
Handheld wideband drone detector and direction finder. Passive receiver: it emits nothing in detection mode.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Handheld wideband drone detector and direction finder (passive receiver) |
| Frequency range | 100 MHz – 13 GHz, continuous coverage; reception confirmed up to 13.4 GHz |
| Sweep time | ≈ 3 s (100 MHz – 7.3 GHz); ≈ 3 s (X-band preset, 8–12 GHz); ≈ 7 s (full 100 MHz – 13 GHz) |
| Max detection range | Up to 5 km (Arrow directional antenna); up to 2 km (omnidirectional whip) |
| Simultaneous targets | Up to 12 |
| Direction finding | Arrow directional antenna; DF sector ≈ 60° (main lobe) |
| Target types | Drones (FPV, commercial, specialized), relays, beacons, handheld radios, video and control link sources |
| Signal types | Analog and digital, including frequency hopping |
| Moving / static discrimination | Hardware; color indication: moving — red, static — green |
| Sensitivity | DANL down to −169 dBm/Hz with LNA on |
| LNA | Built-in, software-controlled |
| Frequency stability | < 1 ppm (−10 … +55 °C) |
| Display | Color LCD; spectrum view and waterfall; detected signals marked (FPV control link, FPV video link, Wi-Fi, GSM, LTE) with frequencies |
| Alerts | Audible; visual (backlight); on-screen text for silent operation |
| Backlight | Auto-dims by 80 % when there are no new targets, restores on detection; auto-dim can be disabled |
| Alarm range threshold | Operator-configurable, 1 m – 5 km |
| Scan modes | Full Sweep (100 MHz – 13 GHz); band presets for drone links with GSM, LTE and handheld radio bands excluded |
| Interference handling | Auto-Exclude (masks specific sources without disabling the band); Manual Exclusions (up to 12 bands) |
| Event log | microSD card, saved on detection events |
| Firmware | Internal memory; updatable |
| Manual | Built into the firmware, shown on the display |
| PC interface | USB-C; device control and spectrum view on a large PC screen |
| TTL outputs | 4 programmable lines (RX, TX, PB13, PB14), 3 V, up to 25 mA, configured on the device; PA4 tone output (~3 kHz) |
| RF connectors | RF (SMA female); CAL (calibration only, no reception) |
| Battery | Li-Po, 5000 mAh |
| Battery life | Up to 8 h continuous; power bank supported |
| Charging | USB-C, from a phone charger or power bank |
| Operating temperature | −20 … +55 °C (frequency stability may vary below −10 °C) |
| No moisture protection | The housing has no dust or moisture protection; protect from rain and moisture |
| Receiver size | 110 × 70 mm |
| Weight | ≈ 200 g (receiver) |
Antennas
Gain values are peak values. Gain is lower at the band edges, which is typical of wideband antennas.
| Antenna | Frequency range | Peak gain (~2.4 GHz) | Purpose | Supply |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arrow — log-periodic directional, pistol grip | 400 MHz – 13 GHz | 6 dB; main lobe ≈ 60° | Direction finding | Standard kit |
| Omnidirectional whip | 600 MHz – 8 GHz | 7 dB | 360° coverage, early warning | Standard kit |
| Dual-band auxiliary | 130–180 MHz and 400–500 MHz | — | Low-band control links, handheld radios | Standard kit |
Detection range
Up to 5 km with the Arrow directional antenna.
- Omnidirectional whip — up to 2 km
- Arrow directional — up to 5 km
Range depends on the link type, drone transmitter power, flight altitude, terrain, line of sight and RF congestion.
