Hi there,
These units can all be used hand-held to detect and record bats.
The Anabat Walkabout, Pettersson M500, M500-384, U256 & U384 and Wildlife Acoustics Echo Meter Touch 2 all have real-time sonogram display (Pettersson M500/M500-384/U256/U384 & Wildlife Acoustics Echo Meter Touch 2 when connected to suitable device) and the Anabat Scout, Elekon Batlogger M & M2 and Pettersson D240X & D1000X do not.
The Echo Meter Touch 2 connects to compatible Android devices.
If the real-time sonogram display is important to you, I recommend either the Anabat Walkabout, Wildlife Acoustics Echo Meter Touch 2 PRO or Pettersson U384. If you don't want the display it would be the Elekon Batlogger M (which can be used passively as well), Batlogger M2 or the Anabat Scout.
Choose whichever one has the features that suit you best and if you need help choosing, give me a call on 0333 9000 927 (+44 333 9000 927 from outside the UK) or email me.
You'll get a free bat calls book worth £35: either British Bat Calls by Jon Russ, Social Calls of the Bats of Britain and Ireland by Neil Middleton et al, Bats of Britain & Europe by Christian Dietz & Andreas Kiefer or Is That a Bat? by Neil Middleton; with the Anabat Walkabout, Elekon Batlogger M/M2 and Pettersson D240X & D1000X (email me for the D1000X).
Warm Regards,
Martin.

Comment from a client:
"My bat detector microphone failed during a dawn survey and knew that I had a group of dusk surveys starting in two days time. I was not in a good place as I did not have a spare, but my equipment was less than a year old.
After my survey I contacted Martin by email and he called me back on the same day, a few hours later, after a quick nap. He told me he did not have a part in stock, but had already contacted the supplier on my behalf.
The next day I received a replacement part, free of charge and express delivered from Switzerland. I thought it was amazing, and could not believe it was resolved so quickly.
Due to Martin's exceptional service I was good to go with the surveys, and I really would like to thank Martin and Wildlife Countryside Services for making the dusk surveys happen."
