SSF Bat2 Detector

About this product

The SSF Bat2 is a new generation of super-heterodyne detector that is set to become the detector of choice for watching bats. In addition to its heterodyne function, the SSF Bat2 also uses frequency division to monitor all frequencies. It will report the peak frequency, and at a push of the button you can jump to that peak frequency. To read a full review of the SSF Bat2, see the Review tab. With the option to input pre-set frequencies, you can jump between frequencies and greatly minimise the chance of missing bats. The LCD display also displays a small graph showing the frequency range of the received call.
