Just remember, its only an RF detector / locator and is good for what it says it does on the box. However,....
It may not locate devices that are not transmitting or are switched off at the time of the sweep....
Also, I don't think it will pick up active GSM type bugs.... anyone know otherwise..Rich?

Peter's right.
It must be remembered that all the tools should be used to back the other up. This is conducted solely to save time. Much time is spent with screw drivers, search bendy cameras and lights that using the full compliment of systems will reduce.
The CPM 700 is a confirmatory to others such as the Orion NLJD. This system will detect non-transmitting electronic circuitry/ diodes behind walls, book cases and so on.
If you hire a TSCM team that does not include the following or equivalent in their array then they are not professional. This is the bare minimum:
1. Oscor 5000 or Oscor Green
2. Orion Non Linear Junction Detector
3. CPM 700
4. In-depth professional tool kit
In addition, I use a wireless camera detector that scan the entire frequency range in 4 secs. I leave this on for the duration of search and do not start the search unless it doesn't detect anything - (in addition to keeping quiet).
Lens detector for detecting camera lenses (saves time searching large book cases).
Metronomes, placing one in each sector/ room to confirm RF spikes on the Oscor.
I tend to only rely on my screw driver and my eyes for the most part. Remaining balanced insofar as the threat and the risk to threat is important to maximising risk mitigation and efficiency. Will the cleaner be bribed to place something and if so then it must be a quick and easy device? Have painters and decorators been in? House manager been away/ house left insecure...and so on.
Don't rely on kit just use it wisely and as a compliment to other tools and procedures.

I'm not a TSCM guy, but:
Just a thought, but looking at the spec of the above, they seem to top out at 3ghz?
I assume there's firmware / software upgrades available to extend that ? 'Next gen' Wifi & videoTx are already available on 5.8ghz, and there's certainly other 'odd' frequencies under development.
There's also some very low power VLF kit for video tx kicking around. Crap bandwidth, so frame rate and resolution are sh1t, but range is 'interesting'.

Guys,
Thanks a million for all of the input. I've gotten a mixed feedback about this piece of equipment. Would anyone recommend my purchase of the CPM 700 as an entry level piece of equipment? Or if purchased, then what should be next to purchase? Any ideas?
And Peter, did your course in England, found it very informative. Thanks again.

the Oscor 500 has an add-on for taking you up to the 21GHZ band and the Oscor green goes up to 24GHZ also you can see the harmonics if you know what your doing the CPM-700 also has an add-on taking you up to the 12GHZ band too
