The Baton is a simple but versatile bat detector having a monitor speaker allowing reduction of frequencies between 20kHz to 120kHz. The division factor is 10, reducing the sounds of a 50kHz bat to 5kHz. The unit comes with a version of BatScan sound analysis software, developed especially for the Baton. In addition, if attached to the soundcard of a laptop computer by a stereo lead from the ‘line out’ of the Baton, it will produce real-time sonograms, allowing detailed analysis of calls when used with BatScan software.

The Baton retains the original amplitude of the calls recorded, allowing 3D analysis of bat calls. (time, frequency and intensity). Calls can also be recorded on other devices such as MP3 or minidisc for later analysis. MP3 files will have to be converted to WAV files before Batscan will be able to load them. The Baton is also ideal for listening to orthoptera (grasshoppers and crickets) whose communication is in the upper part of, or above human hearing. One PP3 9V battery lasts for up to 30hrs (alkaline).

Soft carrying case has a front velcro pouch with two compartments, and a main zip up pouch. There is a belt loop on the back.

This lead connects a tape recorder or minidisc to a bat detector.

Species featured: Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Rhinolophus euryale, Rhinolophus hipposideros, Myotis myotis, Myotis daubentonii, Myotis capaccinii, Myotis bechsteinii, Myotis mystacinus, Myotis emarginatus, Myotis nattereri, Plecotus auritus, Barbastella barbastellus, Pipistrellus pipistrellus, Pipistrellus kuhlii, Pipistrellus nathusii, Miniopterus schreibersii, Eptesicus serotinus, Eptesicus nilssonii, Verpertilio murinus, Hypsugo savii, Nyctalus noctula, Nyctalus leisleri, Tadarida teniotis

Requires Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
BatScan runs best with 128MB or more of RAM memory.Will operate with 8-bit color. However 24-bit color is required in order to save screen images as graphics files (jpeg or bitmap).Processes PCM format digital audio data such as wav sound files.To record and play back sound samples you will need a Windows compatible sound card installed. However, a sound card is not necessary in order to analyze and display audio spectrograms.

This book by Yves Tupinier has 132 pages of detailed analysis of European bat echolocation calls. The opening chapters have some general explanations of sound, hearing, acoustics etc. This is probably the most advanced book available on the subject of European bat echolocation. The Barataud recordings (Inaudible world) are used as reference for the analysis.

Excellent multi page double sided field guide suitable for a wide age range, packed with information, easy to use and great value. Includes all 16 species of bats that live and breed in Britain. It has two parts; a guide to identifying bats in flight using bat detectors and flight patterns; and a key for identifying bats in the hand.
