RF monitoring device finds hidden listening devices, covert cameras, unauthorized mobile phone use

February 28, 2020 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

The Aaronia Bug Finder RF Monitoring Device helps in the detection of hidden audio and video bugs and transmitters. Covering a frequency range of 10 MHz – 12 GHz, the Bug Finder can tackle the latest innovations in bugging technology that use modulation methods such as FM, NFM, WFM, AM, PCM, PAM, DECT, WLAN, GSM, SS, and SSB. Both the 12-point LED display and the Auto-Sense button make settings easy to navigate.

Designed for the ever-increasing threat from more sophisticated and higher bug finderfrequency RF devices, the Bug Finder produces a dynamic acoustic ‘blip’. As the finder gets closer to the RF signal’s source, the frequency of the blip intensifies. When the blip hits a constant note/tone, the blip interval can be reset, enabling the user to refine tracking the source. Included in the kit for focused tracking are two LogPer antennas (900 – 2,500 MHz and 2,000 – 11,000 MHz) as well as two omnidirectional antennas (20 – 1,500 MHz and 900 – 12,000 MHz).

Many other signal detectors depend on a 9-V battery as their power supply, limiting the ability to minimize the package size. But the Bug Finder’s metal case houses a 3.7 V Lithium polymer battery that not only enables the finder to be considerably smaller and lighter than other alternatives but also allows concealed handheld operation for over three hours with a charging time of 1.5 hours.

Features
Frequency range: 10 MHz – 12,000 MHz
Input impedance: 50 Ohm
Display: 12-point LED display
Sound: Internal speaker or headset (2.5-mm headset jack/ mono)
Power-supply: Lithium-Polymer battery (3.7 V)
Operational time: 3h, charging time: 1.5 h
Connector: SMA microwave socket
Modulation methods: FM, NFM, WFM, AM, PCM, PAM, DECT, WLAN, GSM, SS, SSB
Settings: Via Auto-Sense button

The Aaronia Bug Finder RF Monitoring Device can be used to check for hidden listening devices, covert cameras, unauthorized mobile phone usage in locations such as sensitive meeting rooms and offices, exam halls, hospitals, prisons, and in vehicles to locate hidden GPS tracking devices.

Made in Germany by Aaronia AG, Europe’s award-winning, innovative manufacturer of RF site survey tools, handheld spectrum analyzers, antennas and EMC test probes, the Aaronia Bug Finder is available now from Saelig Company, Inc., technical distributor for Aaronia USA.
