(TSCM Equipment Sales Update)
RadioInspector now provides full support for the new Rohde and Schwarz FSW series spectrum analyzers with frequency ranges of up to 43.5 GHz and the FSQ series spectrum analyzers with frequency ranges of up to 40 GHz.
Support provides all of the advance capability of RadioInspector including the digital signal analysis features of the DTest program option, greatly enhancing the functionality of the FSW and FSQ series spectrum analyzers.
* RadioInspector offers the most advanced RF detection, analysis and spectrum monitoring capability and supports a large and expanding list of more than 80 professional receivers and spectrum analyzers from manufacturers world-wide!
March / 2013
 We are pleased to announce the new
RECON 2.4 hand held non linear junction detector (NLJD), developed in a design
and engineering partnership between Waypoint Counter Surveillance Inc. and
Acustek Ltd. The RECON 2.4 is designed as a highly responsive, tactical, quick
deployment counter surveillance resource for electronic device detection. The
RECON 2.4 is the result of nearly two years of testing and development in
Canada and internationally, working closely with the manufacturer and with
direct input for the specific requirements of government, military and law
enforcement agencies.
More than 10 NLJD's from manufacturers world-wide were
evaluated in various testing environments including tactical searches for
clandestine electronic devices and international post blast I.E.D. tests and our
design team was provided with unique insight into the tactical field use of NLJDs by
military operators in Afghanistan. The initial RECON 2.4 prototype has been in government testing and evaluation in Canada and Europe for the last 3 months.
The physical design of the RECON 2.4
was selected for its compact, rugged, portable, simple one piece construction
and used as the base for development and implementation of specific, targeted
performance requirements. Other NLJD's including several hand held
designs, some of which were examined to the component level, were rejected for
reasons including, size, portability, battery, operational complexity,
ineffective design, poor quality receiver and RF components, lack of
sensitivity, and inability to withstand rugged field demands.
NLJD performance is more than just
raw specifications but is the result of careful operational and technical
requirements analysis along with side-by-side comparisons of other known
fielded designs. Testing in actual field conditions using operators and
engineers with years of proven experience resulted in combining the right power
level, antenna pattern and gain, excellent receiver design, calibration and no-compromise
technical parameters. The RECON 2.4 provides an operator adjustable peak pulse power output ERP of 4
Watts with an innovative antenna design, a receiver incorporating ‘front-end’
precision-aligned filters that provide for maximum sensitivity and a new Lithium
Ion battery that yields longer operational times. The one-piece molded case construction
has been modified to enhance antenna characteristics for greater sensitivity
while ensuring a rugged tactical design highly appropriate for field use and
first responders.
The RECON 2.4 operates in the 2.4
GHz band and incorporates a highly advanced second harmonic receiver with
intuitive and highly responsive display. With only a single patch antenna, the
precision and rapidity of target location at close range increases over NLJD
designs incorporating both a 2nd and 3rd harmonic receiver. The RECON’s second
harmonic design offers greater operational simplicity, reduced size, and easily
interpreted results requiring minimal training with highly effective performance
at a significantly reduced cost.
The RECON 2.4 comes complete in a
hard shell carrying / transport case including stereo headphones with volume
control, test target, charger and operator manual.
The RECON is available world-wide
exclusively through Waypoint Counter Surveillance Inc. and Acustek Ltd. and
their authorized distribution partners.
* Active members of government, military or law enforcement
organizations can have an authorized purchasing agent issue us a letter to receive
a copy of the NLJD field testing and evaluation results.
January / 2013
A software update for The Shearwater TSCM Hunter XD is now available. The software update includes an additional readout for the total field strength on the heads up

The update is available at no charge and customers should contact Waypoint Counter Surveillance for information on having the update performed.
* All new Hunter XD orders will include the updated software.
