Bat Detector/Recorder Key

These are the options for hand-held full spectrum bat recorders.

My choice? Anabat Walkabout (£1640), Batlogger M (£1650), Batlogger M2 (£1260), Anabat Scout (£930) or Echo Meter Touch (£210/£375 plus Android device).
For a unit to walk around with and look at sonograms in real time, it's either the EM Touch (requires Android device) or the Walkabout.
For a unit that can also be left out to record, the Batlogger M would be the obvious choice.

AnaBat Walkabout bat detector AnaBat Walkabout Bat Detector - With our Exclusive 2 Year Warranty!
The Anabat Walkabout is a state of the art detector, designed for active bat detection and recording. This detector is an all-in-one unit, with WiFi and Android operating system, so there is no additional phone or tablet required. The 12.5cm (5") LCD touchscreen displays either full spectrum or zero crossing calls in real time, enabling you to monitor and review your sonograms in the field. A built-in GPS and mapping system allow you to tag your calls and log your path as you go (even without an internet connection). The detector uses the FG Knowles microphone which is known for its robustness & sensitivity. This omnidirectional microphone can be easily converted to directional using the included unobtrusive cone attachment.

Elekon Batlogger bat detector Elekon Batlogger M Bat Detector - With our Exclusive 3 Year Warranty!
A compact and versatile bat recorder with integrated live monitoring (heterodyne, with automatic tuning) with speaker or headphones. In addition to the normal recording of bat calls on an SD card, further data and meta-information is collected and stored. The most important feature is the built-in GPS receiver. Every recording is referenced by the coordinates of its position. This information is particularly valuable in elaborate setups with several recording devices, or in mobile transect recordings. Additionally, the temperature at the time of recording is also recorded.
We include a free EU to UK plug adaptor!
£1650 inclusive - nothing else to pay!!

Pettersson D1000X bat detector Pettersson D1000X bat detector - With our Exclusive 2 Year Warranty!
The D1000X is a professional ultrasound detector, based on the latest technology. The detector has heterodyne, frequency division and time expansion systems and also a built-in 16-bit recording system using a Compact Flash card as storage medium. It is equipped with Pettersson's well-known, high-quality capacitance microphone which has been further improved to give lower noise, wider dynamic range and lower distortion.
The D1000X has a built-in "recorder", relieving the user from the hassle of operating a separate recording device or laptop with connecting cables. It can be configured to work in a variety of operating modes, but thanks to the use of "Profiles", switching between different modes is made instantly. Each profile contains all the selectable settings such as sampling rate, triggering mode, time expansion factor and LED intensity and can be prepared in advance and saved in the detector.
At any time, either the direct ultrasonic signal, the heterodyne signal or the frequency division signal can be recorded onto the CF-card. Spoken comments can be recorded by speaking into the microphone while recording in the direct mode, or in a special comment recording mode (at a lower sampling rate). The recording time is limited only by the available space on the CF-card. Upon completion of a recording in the direct mode, the signal will be automatically replayed in time expanded form, if this function is enabled. Time expansion factors from 1 (original speed) to 30 can be chosen. The recordings can be made by manually starting and stopping the recording or through level-activated (and optional frequency selective) triggering. In the latter case, the detector can be set up for unattended capture of calls. Pre- and post-triggering modes with a variety of different settings can be used.
The wav sound files on the CF-card are stamped with date and time and can be read directly on a PC, using a standard CF-card reader. The D1000X also has a serial GPS input, making it possible to save GPS position data in the files.
