1.1. 

Purpose 

This document is a user’s manual for the 
SeeGull MX Scanning Receiver. It 
describes the main features and options 
available for the SeeGull MX and provides 
instructions related to setup, operation, and 
maintenance of the scanners. This 
document may be supplemented by other 
documentation for the SeeGull MX or 
related PCTEL products and applications. 

1.2. 

Applicability 

The SeeGull MX Scanning Receiver 
conducts drive test and site-specific 
measurements of mobile networks around 
the world to optimize wireless network 
performance, survey tower sites, monitor 
base stations, demodulate RF signals and 
analyze wireless market data. 

The SeeGull MX Scanning Receiver is a 
software-defined receiver, capable of 
supporting multiple protocols and up to 8 
frequency ranges. It can be configured for 
TD-LTE, LTE FDD, UMTS 
[WCDMA/HSPA(+)], CDMA, EV-DO and 
GSM technologies. The following bands are 
supported for LTE FDD with a subset of 
these bands supported for UMTS 
[WCDMA/HSPA(+)], CDMA, EV-DO and 
GSM: 

  E-UTRA 12 (Lower 700 MHz A/B/C)
