Elekon Batscanner Bat Detector

About this product

With Elekon’s Batscanner detecting bat calls is easier than ever. You just turn on the device and listen – that’s all. The ultrasonic sounds are automatically transformed into the audible range, without the need for any adjustments. The mixing frequency of this heterodyne detector is determined and readjusted automatically by the call frequency of the bats. This offers many advantages:

• Immediate display of the main frequency, even with only a brief flyby. This also helps to get a first estimation of the species.
• Miss no bat, just because the wrong frequency is selected.
• No tedious search for the optimal setting, which is especially helpful in the dark.

The Batscanner features excellent audio performance. The heterodyne converter is digitally driven, giving it a clear sound and only minimal noise. The built-in loudspeaker has been optimized to avoid feedback loops and connected to a headset, one can concentrate even better on the bat calls. Ultrasound from crickets and rustling clothes are an annoying problem when using bat detectors. The Batscanner intelligently filters low frequency noise removing crickets but ensuring that the calls of noctules and other bats that use lower frequencies are not lost.

The Batscanner sits comfortably in your hand, is lightweight, and small enough to take with you wherever you go. Whether on an evening walk or a bat excursion, with the Batscanner you are always prepared.

The Batscanner is covered by a 2 year warranty, please note that this does not include the microphone.
