Approved Functionality
The CISC RAIN Xplorer Spy is a portable and very flexible solution for RF communication analysis. That is why the software is purchased online here and the required hardware (please see below) is purchased on your own to be most flexible regarding customs, shipment time and costs.
Required Hardware
The CISC RAIN Xplorer Spy software works with wide-band RTL2832U + Rafael Micro R82xx receivers, which are integrated into common DVB-T+DAB+FM USB / RTL-SDR dongles. The used RTL-SDR software driver turns such dongle into a complex waveform digital receiver without any required hardware modification.
Required is also an antenna for the considered RAIN frequency band, typically from 860 – 960 MHz. Different dongles available for example at Amazon, such as e.g. from RTL-SDR Blog as as well as for the antenna e.g. from Uxcell.
