The new PLUS model not only comes with extended range when compared to the standard WSUB1G model, it also add these many additional extras:

• Internal selectable LNA preamplifier: this provide extra sensitivity when required
• Internal selectable 30dB Attenuator: enables direct measurement of stronger input signals

• New HELP button with context sensitive help on any screen
• Included NA-773 telescopic and UHF Rubber Duck antennas

The model is available for purchase on selected distributors:

• UK – Martin Lynch MLS

Over the next few weeks should be available in all distribution channels. Get the full list here.

Important note: For existing customers using RF Explorer models WSUB1G, 3G Combo, 6G Combo and ISM Combo, there will be a way to cover 50Khz frequency range using RF Explorer Upconverter - an external device we are releasing in just a few weeks. Stay tuned.

We are happy to announce the availability of new Push-ON adapter, this is an affordable version of very expensive but convenient accessory that makes easier to plug/unplug devices or cables under test to a SMA port.

This quality adapter is good for up to 6GHz work.

It is the same adapter we include in the Near Field Antenna Kit, and by popular demand we make it available to everyone as separated adapter you can now use for your own purposes. We get them in quantities which allow us to offer it for $8.5 - as a comparison equivalent adapters at Mouser or Digikey are in the range of >$40.

• AirHORN channel / signal generator functionality (packet injection)
• WifiPROBE channel analyzer functionality

We are happy to announce RF Explorer will be available for demo in Hamvention 2017.

Hamvention is one of the largest and premiere Amateur Radio shows and flea market. The show this year will be held May 19 to 21 in Xenia, Ohio; where thousands of hams from across North America (and the world) converge to one location to see hundreds of commercial and flea market vendors. This is the first year on new location in Xenia after moving out from Dayton HARA Arena.

SeeedStudio team will be available to show the product family, including pre-production prototypes of upcoming models and tools, and of course you can ask questions, take demos and see the product first hand in booth #6711-6712.

We can also help you understand how a Spectrum Analyzer and Tracking Generator can make your life easier tuning antennas, checking filters, detecting jam and noise sources, to name a few.

We hope to see you there!
