Number 26 on your Feedback card NEW PRODUCTS [ ,"., Compiled by Linda Reneau PRODUCT OF THE MONTH MODELCCB RF DETECTOR The hand-held Model CCB RF Detector from Optoelectronics will indicate the presence of a 1 mW transmitter within a twentyfoot distance. The bargraph display successively illuminates up to 10 segments as the distance to the transmitter decreases. This simplifies locating and oeacnvaring the unauthorized transmitters, or "bugs," placed in rooms for listening to private conversetions. Other applications include checking the output from small or large transmitters used in radio telemetry, two-way radio, ham radio, garage door openers, RC transmitters, cordless and cellular phones, marine and aircraft radio, CB, police and emergency radio services. The CCB has a lwo-stage wideband RF amplifier, and a forward biased hot carrier diode for a detector. The output of the detector is filtered and fed 10 the log output bargraph driver circuit. Each segment responds to a 3 dB step increase in signal strength. Screwdriver adjustable pots are provided for zero and full-scale adjustment. The CCB RF Dectector is $100.

BIRD ELECTRONIC CORPORAnON Bird Electronic's new model 4029 Power Sensor Calibrator was designed for use with it s 4420-series AF Power Meters. In conjunction with a CRT or PC with a serial port, it provides in-field calibration of the power meters to within ±3% of a known RF standard. A menu guides you through the calibration process. You connect the calibrator to a 4020-series AF Power Sensor, and drive it with a known amount of AF power at a specific frequency. You enter the power level, and the calibrator automatically calculates and stores a correction lactor in the Power Sensor's memory for that frequency. Since calibration data is stored in the Sensor, rather than in the display unit, you can use any aoao-eenee Sensor, with any 4420-series Power Meter, with no degradation of accuracy. The 4029can add, delete, clear, andlist calibrationpoints for review. The unit also checks the validity of operator input and warns of incorrect responses. The calibrator comes with connectors for a standard zs-oin serial cable and the Power Sensor cable. Voltage is 11 5/230 volts AC, 50/60 Hz. Price, $1750.
