RF Venue Spectrum Recorder

The RF Venue Professional Spectrum Recorder is a top - notch device designed for continuous monitoring of the UHF frequency band used in wireless audio transmission. When activated, it starts a new recording session and begins a fresh one every 24 hours, ensuring in - depth RF spectrum analysis. It scans the 400 to 700 MHz spectrum in 25 kHz steps every 20 seconds, giving you real - time and detailed spectrum data. This recorder can work independently or be part of a network, offering flexibility for various RF analysis needs. Every 10 minutes, it calculates and stores the average values of the previous 30 scans in CSV files, making data analysis a breeze. It also generates daily reports with average, maximum, and dynamic frequency activity data, which are vital for spotting frequency usage patterns and potential interference sources. With a storage capacity of up to 99 recording sessions, it keeps your data safe before overwriting the oldest ones. When connected to a network, it tries to sync its internal clock with an online time server. If successful, CSV filenames will have a timestamp in the format nn_xxx_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.csv; otherwise, they'll be in a simpler nn_xxx.csv format. Key features include continuous UHF frequency monitoring, 24 - hour automatic session initiation, efficient spectrum scanning, regular average value calculation, daily report generation, large - scale data storage, and clock synchronization for accurate timestamping. Technical specs show it has dimensions of 6.5' x 5.5' x 1.2' and weighs 1.5 lbs. The frequency range is 400 - 700 MHz, with a 25 kHz scan increment and a 20 - second scan interval. It can store up to 99 recording sessions, and each CSV file is about 165 kB, containing frequency in MHz and amplitude in dBm. Inside the box, you'll find the Spectrum Recorder, a UHF Wideband whip antenna, and a 5V USB - C power supply with a cable.

Using the RF Venue Spectrum Recorder is easy. If you're using it on its own, attach the antenna to the recorder's RF input. If you want to analyze an existing system's RF environment, connect the recorder to the system's distribution output. For network operation, use a network cable to connect it to the LAN. You can power it via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), but it's not necessary. Connect power to the recorder using the 5V supply through the USB - C port or PoE through the RJ45 Ethernet port. Once powered, it'll start scanning and recording right away. You'll know it's working when the Activity LED blinks once per second, and when one or more CSV files are ready for retrieval, the Ready LED will light up. Remember, it stores up to 99 recording sessions, so once it fills up, the oldest data will be overwritten. When it's connected to a network, make sure it can sync with an online time server for accurate timestamping of your CSV files. For maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. If there are any issues, check the connections and power supply first.
