Pros: It arrived after some weeks, mostly spent in Local customs though. Nothing is working and everthing is loose. The case looke like someone has been chewing og it for a week.

Said i few words: there really are no Pros about this product.

Cons: Hopeless scrap from outer to inner. Nothis is tightened. Not the antenna, not the case and not the case cover, where the mountig screws stick out in one direction after the other.

Other Thoughts: Buy something else - this is real crap!! Even the antenna is lose

Bottomline: This is the first object out of very many things I have bought here. There have been cheap things and less cheap things. But thi item takes the ultimatr price for garbage.

Simple Effective and Cheap

Pros: Firstly: cheap, easy to use, simple and effective.

Picks up wide range of devices, has a good range and easy to use interface.

I like how simple it is, can be used by anyone, no knowledge of device needed. 

Quick and simple way to find hidden devices.

Cons: None really, but could add high Fq range maybe to 8Ghz - But there are more expensive devices out there that achieve this.

Other Thoughts: Could come in a range of colours.

Maybe different colour lights for range of Fq's

Bottomline: Cheap, easy to use, light and easy to carry.

Great for the price, has a good range.

not too bad

Pros: For the low price, I had bought with the intention for trial. I find that it is easy to use, just press and wait for the blue light to flash.

Cons: not too sure if it works as I don't get a signal even when I put it near a pin hole camera, but it flashes only after a while.

Other Thoughts: Probably should include instructions and examples of how it can be tested when we receive the item in order to give more confidence in the product. For example, the blue light should come on when we put it about 5 m away from source of WIFI.

Bottomline: somehow feel that there should be more accuracy to it

Looks great. It works, too, but...

Pros: It looks great and build quality is excellent. It's also very easy to use; just hold down the button and the red LED comes on. When it detects an RF ('wireless') signal, the blue LED flashes or steadily lights, depending on the signal strength. Easy!
It's also got an adjustable antenna (see 'Cons').
 
Cons: It's too sensitive! The adjustable antenna makes it slightly better, as it can be pushed in to dampen the response or pulled out to heighten it. Even so, to use it to detect hidden signals, you need to be very patient, and make sure you turn off all ISM-band devices that you expect to be there first, or you'll get a lot of false positives.
No sound response (a pitched beep would be useful).
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: Hey, for the price, it's great for a first rush through when doing a site survey or just a wireless bug sweep. Something a bit more in-depth (and far more costly) would be necessary for anything more intense, though.
Overall, it's fantastic for the price!
