Delta V
In areas of high RF activity, such as big cities, interference can make it difficult to pinpoint local active RF transmitters. When time is short nd high-level emergency or external meetings are required it is essential to be able to quickly and easily locate active radio eavesdropping devices.
Delta V is a handheld differential RF field-strength wide band detector. Rather than measuring the absolute field strength, Delta V measures the rate of change in field strength. Ideal for use in areas with high RF activity, this technique provides a high degree of rejection of strong distant signal sources, providing greater discrimination against outside signals. The result is accurate location of active radio listening devices, wherever the meeting.
A Push Button is provided to reduce the sensitivity of Delta V whilst working close to a local transmitter. This prevents a maximum response occurring too far from a transmitter to locate the source accurately.
Portable, quick and simple to use, Delta V is the ideal tool for quick location of active listening devices.
Delta V - User Benefits
- Measures the rate of change in field-strength, allowing active transmitters to be easily identified in areas with high RF activity

Sig-Net
The threat from electronic eavesdropping attacks does not end once a detailed countermeasures sweep has taken place.
Just like any other security measure, the protection against electronic eavesdropping attacks requires constant vigilance.
Companies best protected against eavesdropping attacks take protective measures such as shredding sensitive documents, vetting employees and contractors and most importantly, continuously monitoring against active radio transmitters.
Sig-Net is an easy-to-use, hand-held detector that immediately alerts users to active radio transmitters.
Eavesdroppers can disguise radio transmitters as any everyday objects, from pens and watches to mobile phones. Such devices are easily taken into meetings, whether the carrier is aware or not. In such cases, when the eavesdropper has all the information required, the listening device leaves the room just as easily as it entered, without leaving a trace of evidence.
What is more, when external meetings take place it is unlikely that a detailed sweep will always occur before meetings. In a situation where confidential information is exchanged, it is vital that meeting areas are monitored for active radio transmissions.
Handheld, wall-mounted or freestanding, Sig-Net is ideal for protecting against active radio transmitter attacks between sweeps and during offsite meetings.
