The Andre detects signal activity and displays a histogram of signal strength over time. It is a handheld broadband receiver capable of detecting covert electronics including GSM bugs, microphones, cameras, RF and Wifi transmitters, and mobile phones. Possible applications may be in RF emissions detection, prison contraband, RF spectrum management, executive protection, technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM), intelligence protection and fraud detection at exam testing sites.

The Andre’s success at detecting and locating the source of RF, infrared, visible light, carrier current and other types of transmissions has expanded in the new Deluxe model with several additional antennas/probes, accessories, software and operational features.

New Andre Deluxe accessories include a 6 ft. boom extender to increase antenna reach. A table top tripod provides stationary placement of antennas. New 5 ft. and 9 ft. probe connector cables are included to supply power to new Andre Deluxe antennas as well as passive connectivity to existing antennas. An IR filter attached to the Andre filters out everything but infrared.

All Andre models include a built-in frequency counter that logs the strongest signals to a signal list, and includes detailed information like signal strength, attenuation and gain, and communication band classification. Band identification helps determine the FCC frequency allocation the signal falls within. It includes an audio amplifier for listening to demodulated analog audio and ten second recordings. The Andre also captures and stores screen shots and audio files. A USB cable transfers files and recharges batteries and it auto-detects attached antenna probes.
