The Hawksweep HS-D8000 Plus is a user-friendly portable Digital Frequency Counter capable of detecting and identifying a wide spectrum of radio frequency signals within the 0-10 GHz range. This device accurately displays the frequency of any detected spy equipment in the area.

 

Use the Multifunctional Navigational Key to choose between "Range 3000 MHz" or "Range 500 MHz". This covers GSM, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, wireless cameras, microphones, and more.

In the picture on the left, you'll see the frequency detection process. While the device is detecting, the frequency counter will show the exact detected frequencies. You can press the "hold" button (one short press on the central button) to get a better look at them.

 

To enter Cellphone Mode, simply long-press the central button for 2-3 seconds. In this mode, you'll detect frequencies across popular bands like LTE800, LTE2600, GSM900, GSM1800, WCDMA2000, and Wi-Fi 2400.

 

You can adjust the signal strength by pressing the central button up or down. As you can see on picture above, sensitivity is at maximum (Max). 

 

HS-D8000 Plus Wideband Mode Example:

In wideband mode, the device can detect wireless signals ranging from 0 to 10 GHz. As you get closer or further from devices in a room, it also shows signal strength on screen.
