The Band Scanner is simple and affordable scanning receiver for FM analysis. This small, but very efficient unit can create detailed playlist reports for any station broadcasting artist and song title information with Radio text. Thus, allowing a comparison between your RDS text rotations and the ones of your competitors’ stations to be made.

To help set up the unit, a very simple and intuitive Windows® interface has been included on the CD-ROM that comes with the Band Scanner (and also available on our website), allowing the broadcasters (no matter whether you are experienced or novice engineer) decode and analyze all the RDS/RBDS features with maximum ease and at a minimum of expense. The USB connection makes the Band Scanner the perfect tool for field surveys.

The "Band Scanner" is a simple, low-cost scanning receiver for FM market analysis. It is a market monitoring tool intended to serve Station engineers, Managers and Program Directors. The "Band Scanner" can create detailed play list reports for any station broadcasting artist and song title information with Radio Text.

Engineers can monitor real-time field intensity data for any station, as well as review strip charts for analysis of the entire band. Precision MPX peak deviation meter is included in the product. It plugs into the USB port of any PC, and with the supplied Windows® software it sweeps the FM band and logs every signal that comes across. An easy-to-read spectrum display shows carrier level vs. frequency, and stations with an RDS or RBDS presence may be analyzed to show data in all Radio Data groups. Powered by a laptop's USB connection, the Band Scanner becomes an easy-to-use field tool. The Band Scanner allows the broadcast engineers to decode and analyze all the RDS features with maximum ease and at a minimum of expense.

• Why upon installation of the software, the USB green LED on the unit is flashing rapidly?
  Green flashing LED indicates that Band Scanner has no drivers installed. With a normal installation, the driver will be located here: My Computer/Local Disk (C:)/Program Files/Band Scanner/Drivers. Drivers can be found on the supplied CD also, in the 'Drivers' folder. Driver Installation details are described in DEVA User Manuals, chapter 'Installing the Software'.
• How can I reset the data acquisition?
  Press the "SET" button. Whenever setting the frequency (same or not) it will clear all of the acquisitions.
