Why SonoBat?
       
Because you will detect more bats. Time expansion bat detection is significantly more sensitive than zero-cross detection using Anabat detectors.

Because you can more confidently discriminate species. The sensitivity of time expansion detection coupled with the high-resolution processing of SonoBat can reveal essential discriminating features missed with low resolution processing. Read about one such feature in Joe Szewczak's abstract from the 30th annual North American Symposium on Bat Research (Miami, FL, 27-30, 2000), (2000) Bat Research News, 41:141. click here
