How many times have you locked on to a frequency and wondered what that frequency was allocated
to in the FCC bandplan. You no longer have to wonder because the Spectrum Scout will identify that
frequency for you. The Spectrum Scout is the first nearfield device capable of displaying the FCC band-
plan information with each frequency captured. With a frequency range of 10MHz-2.6GHz, over 1000
FCC records are programmed into the Spectrum Scout. The Spectrum Scout is the latest advancement
in hand held test equipment by Optoelectronics, Inc.
With over 1000 records programmed into the Spectrum Scout you can use the unit as your own portable
reference guide. Without having to lock on to a frequency just use the arrow buttons to move through
the database in steps of 1, 5, 6.25, 10, 12.5, 25, 30, and 50KHz steps. You may also move in steps of 1,
5, and 10MHz. This allows for easy lookup of the FCC bandplan information.
A great feature of the Spectrum Scout is its ability to allow the user to upload their own frequencies for
their specific location. Using simple text files and and an upload program that is supplied by
Optoelectronics, you can easily load your own information for specific frequencies. For instance, you
could name your local repeater that is operated by your amateur radio club, or identify your local munic-
ipality frequencies. There are many possibilities. If you don't live in the U.S. your allocation tables may
be much different and you can easily upload all of the information for your city or country.
The Spectrum Scout also incorporates the feature that was patented by Optoelectronics, Inc., Reaction
Tune. This unique feature allows the Spectrum Scout to automatically tune a compatible receiver to the
frequency it captures, allowing the user to instantly monitor the signal captured.
