General Information

Dual DSP-based, compact and affordable Radio Explorer II is a product with highly evaluated

performance. This device is the perfect solution for led surveys and on site monitoring of

station’s complete signal. A click on the button converts the Radio Explorer II into an excellent

tool for analyzing of the signal strength and quality after repairs or set-up of new equipment. This

cost-effective device can measure RF level, MPX deviation, Left & Right Audio levels, RF eld

strength, RDS and Pilot injection levels and display the measurements on the easy to read OLED

Graphical display.

The Radio Explorer II is a multifunctional device designed in line with all market requirements.

This mobile easy to use tool evaluates the FM broadcast band congestion and stores all important

radio broadcast parameters in a Log le. The built-in FTP system allows managing of the les by

an assigned schedule. All collected information is centralized in a database and can be revised,

played back, and sent automatically to the qualied staff if need be.

Designed for signal surveillance, on the eld where the listeners are, all that is needed is a

vehicle and Radio Explorer II. There are two distinct campaign modes:

Radio Explorer II can be set to measure automatically one or multiple preselected frequencies

(Up to 50);

RDS PI / RBDS Call campaign – up to 10 stations can be chosen. Radio Explorer II will

automatically detect the used frequency. While the campaign is running, the chosen stations will

be monitored; Radio Explorer II will automatically switch over between the variable frequencies

during movement - just as the car radio of your listeners.

When the campaign is over using the supplied free of charge Windows software, the log

les could be converted into KMZ format and visualized in Google Earth. Such functionality

is irreplaceable when current information of the FM broadcast band congestion and coverage is

needed. As an addition, the Log le can be also exported and saved as a transitional format for

future analysis.

The band scan mode guarantees real-time live visualization of the FM band or a particular

predened part of it, with down to 10 kHz resolution. Radio Explorer II can be controlled through:

The built-in Web server - a standard web browser can be used to monitor its status or make

some adjustments. Apple and Android devices are also supported. The Main Screen of the WEB

Interface shows all mandatory parameters represented as LED readings;

The supplied free of charge DEVA Device Manager Software - easy-to-use interface allows

quick and easy connection to the device. The dedicated module ensures managing of all the

device’s logs and displays all the events in a handy manner;

The very intuitive user interface with OLED screen, Front panel navigational and soft buttons

ensures an easy usage of the device’s build-in features.

Supporting both RDS/RBDS standards and measurement units, the Radio Explorer II is a

suitable choice for broadcast engineers from all around the world. For better control and data

representation the device can be connected to any Windows® based PC, via the LAN or USB port.

Offering various bar-graphs, data plots, histograms, etc., this device will meet the expectations of

the most demanding broadcasters.
