	BatScan Analysis Software for the Batbox Duet Bat Detector BatScan 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. BatScan will operate with 8-bit color. 24-bit color is required in order to save screen images as graphics files (jpeg or bitmap). BatScan processes PCM format digital audio data such as .wav sound files but cannot convert compressed audio data. In order 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. £110 including p&p
	The Bat Detective Book & CD "This book, together with the accompanying CD, provides an essential reference for bat enthusiasts who would like to gain or improve their skills in identifying British bats, using a bat detector. The material has been gathered from experience gained in numerous bat detector workshops, throughout Europe, and is suitable for those who have just acquired a bat detector as well as for more experienced bat workers. The sounds of 13 bat species are included in the 48 tracks of the CD. This is the first ever comprehensive compilation of British bat recordings on compact disc.” A. M. Hutson (The Bat Conservation Trust) £25 including p&p
	The Inaudible World A double CD which contains the echolocation calls of 27 European bat species. On the 1st CD the calls are recorded in 'real time' with heterodyne detectors and on the second CD they are slowed down ten times (time expanded). A 47 page explanatory booklet accompanies the CD's called 'The World of Bats' £40 including p&p
	European Bats This book by Yves Tupinier has 132 pages of detailed analysis of European bat echolocation calls.
