Especially today, when nearly everyone carries at least one device that regularly transmits signals — whether via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular networks (2G, 4G, 5G), or RF emergency locator beacons.

The best part: even if the wireless device isn’t connected, it’s still transmitting or searching for a base station.

The X•SAR Scanner is a portable, handheld Radio Direction Finder specifically designed for use in search and rescue missions.
