Very good device & very simple user interface. Used for UHF band captures. Playback is possible with the device or with other tools as IQ files are simple flat files.
Shu Chen –
Very good product. Though TestTree RF-Catcher was a little bit expensive, but it was totally worth the price because it has many powerful functions and works very stable. Our university bought two RF-Catcher in 2017 and 2020, and both of them work pretty good since three years.
