PathFinder™ CW Receiver
High-performance CW receiver for outdoor drive testing and RF coverage analysis
PathFinder™ is Consultix’s advanced CW receiver designed for outdoor CW drive-test applications and RF environment scanning. This compact, battery-powered device delivers high sampling speeds and strong immunity to interference, making it well suited for testing in dense RF environments.
Integrated with WalkView™ data collection software, PathFinder™ enables automatic testing and scanning of multiple CW signals. Its high-speed sampling supports parallel multi-band scanning while meeting the 40-λ Lee Criteria. Measurement results, including RSSI levels and location data, can be displayed on maps, archived, or exported to various radio planning tools for further analysis.
- Available in multi-band single-port and multi-band dual-port versions.
- Optional odometer interface for enhanced distance-based sampling accuracy.
- Eliminates the need for complex scanners and bulky field setups during outdoor CW testing.
- Works with the WalkView™ Android application for live measurement viewing.
