SCOUT

Frequency Recorder

The Optoelectronics Scout Frequency Recorder is ideal for searching out and recording unknown frequencies. If you're serious about frequency finding look no further than the Scout. Armed with 400 memories the Scout is designed for portable operation. Take it anywhere, sporting events, the zoo, airports and more. The Scout captures and displays the strongest frequency in the nearfield that is 15dB above the background RF levels. With a beeper and vibrator alert you will never miss what the Scout has captured. The Reaction Tune feature of the Scout, patented by Optoelectronics, allows the Scout to instantly tune a compatible receiver to the frequency it captures.

Features

Reaction Tune

In 1995, Optoelectronics developed and patented what will go down as one of the great contibutions to the scanning hobby, Reaction Tune.

When connected to a receiver for Reaction Tune, the Scout can capture a frequency and then tune the receiver to that frequency simultaneously. No more manual tuning of a receiver, no more wondering what you missed, let the Scout do it for you. The Scout can Reaction Tune the ICOM R7000, R7100, R8500, R9000, R10, R20, AOR AR8000, AR8200 Optoelectronics R11, Optoelectronics OptoCom, Radio Shack Pro 2005/6 with the OptoScan456Lite installed, and the Radio Shack Pro 2035/42 with the OptoScan535 installed.

The Scout is shown to the left with the AR8200 and ICR10 respectively.

Optional Accessories

Our line of antennas include narrow band antennas for specific frequency ranges as well as broad band antennas that cover a wide frequency range.

If you plan to take advantage of the Reaction Tune feature of the Scout we offer a few different cables to work with your specific scanner.

If you intend to use the Scout in a metropolitan area the N100 will help eleiminate those strong signals from the FM stations.
