AirMagnet Spectrum XT User Guide
The radio frequency ranges and channels covered by each radio band as mentioned in Table 4-1
apply to US and North America only. They may vary in other countries or regions of the world.
Switching from one radio band to another will cause the application to discard old data
captured on the ‘old” radio band before it starts scanning the “new” band. For this reason,
changing bands is like resetting the application. The user should expect a sudden drop in the
mount of data shown on the screen before they back up again.
By default, the application scans the 2.4 GHz radio band when it is started.
To change radio band:
1) From the toolbar, click the band menu.
2) From the Band drop-down list menu, select another band of interest. See Figure 4-1.
