Anabat Scout is an affordable bat detector that is ideal for your active survey requirements. This device suits all of your needs, whether it is recording geo-tagged full spectrum and zero-crossing files for viewing waveforms and reviewing sonograms later, or listening in real-time to heterodyne, auto-heterodyne and frequency division audio through earphones or the built-in speaker.
For those important observations you can simply record voice notes that are stored in your sound files. Additionally, an in/out bat counter allows you to time stamp and geotag every count simply by hitting the in or out button each time a bat enters or exits the roost. Meanwhile, the built-in GPS records the ecologist's location during the session.
The design of this device inspires confidence in the field, due to its robust and ergonomic construction, protective carry case with belt loop, and lanyard. In addition, consideration has been given to night-time and low-light working through the provision of a small black OLED display in dim or bright modes, and a glow-in-the-dark button that aids you in operating your device in the dark.
