Spectre 300 ATAN315PAN Wireless Audio Transmitter
A Concealable Body Wire With an Integrated Panic Alert for UC and CI Safety
The MAXSUR Spectre 300 combines live analog NFM audio, 300 mW RF output and an integrated panic button in a transmitter only 0.23 inches thick. If an undercover operator or confidential informant needs help, pressing the button sends a distinctive audible pulse tone to personnel monitoring the operation.
Integrated panic button
300 mW RF output
Only 0.23 in. thick
Knowles microphone
9 V field-replaceable power
NTIA-compliant NFM
Mission Advantages
Live Audio With an Immediate, Deliberate Distress Signal
Spectre 300 adds a simple safety function to the conventional body-wire workflow: the field user can intentionally signal the monitoring team without speaking a predetermined distress phrase or handling a separate device.
Reach the Monitoring Position
With 300 mW of published RF output, Spectre 300 is built to deliver live audio and the panic tone across demanding surveillance operations when the RF path is properly planned.
Conceal a Slim Transmitter
The transmitter measures approximately 0.8 x 2.44 x 0.23 inches, keeping the electronics low-profile beneath clothing or inside a mission-specific concealment.
Capture Intelligible Speech
An integrated Knowles-brand microphone provides sensitive voice pickup and clear audio for authorized undercover and confidential-source deployments.
Replace Power in the Field
The 9 VDC battery clip accepts a conventional alkaline battery, supporting straightforward battery replacement between operations without a proprietary charging workflow.
Configure for Agency Requirements
Published frequency availability spans 150 to 174 MHz. MAXSUR can match the transmitter and compatible receivers to an approved agency-specific frequency.
Operational Workflow
Transmit, Monitor and Alert
Deploy the Transmitter
Place the slim transmitter, Knowles microphone, wire antenna, panic control and 9 V battery in the appropriate body-worn or mission-specific concealment.
Monitor Live Audio
Authorized personnel listen through compatible receivers and antennas configured for the Spectre 300 operating frequency and deployment environment.
Recognize the Panic Tone
If the field user presses the integrated panic button, monitoring personnel hear a distinctive pulse tone and follow the agency's established response plan.
Undercover Applications
Designed for Missions Where Source Safety Matters
Spectre 300 can support appropriately authorized operations such as:
- Confidential-informant and cooperating-source deployments
- Undercover narcotics and controlled-purchase operations
- Sting, gang and organized-crime investigations
- Human-trafficking and exploitation investigations
- Anti-corruption and internal investigations
- High-risk meetings where a deliberate distress alert is valuable
Panic Notification
A Simple Signal That Fits the Agency's Existing Response Plan
The panic button does one essential job: it causes the transmitter to send an audible pulse tone that can be recognized by personnel monitoring compatible receivers. The agency decides what that tone means operationally and should brief the field user and monitoring team before deployment.
- Deliberately activated by the deployed user
- Audible alert delivered through monitored receivers
- Does not require a spoken distress phrase
- Can be heard by multiple properly configured receivers
- Not a GPS location or tracking function
- Does not automatically contact dispatch or 911
- Does not replace active audio monitoring
- Should be incorporated into an agency response protocol
Range and Receiver Planning
Make Sure Both Voice and Panic Alerts Reach the Team
The specification sheet publishes more than one mile of line-of-sight range and describes up to approximately one mile using rubber whip antennas. High-gain receiving antennas may extend usable coverage in favorable conditions.
Actual performance varies with transmitter concealment, body loading, receiver location, antenna selection, structures, vehicles, terrain, interference and local RF conditions. For high-risk deployments, MAXSUR can help configure additional receivers, vehicle antennas, high-gain antennas or a strategically located monitoring and relay point.

Buyer Questions
Spectre 300 Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Spectre 300 different from a conventional body wire?
Spectre 300 incorporates a dedicated panic button into the body-wire system. In addition to transmitting live audio, it lets the undercover operator or confidential informant deliberately send an audible pulse tone to personnel monitoring compatible receivers. It also provides 300 mW of RF output in a transmitter only 0.23 inches thick.
What happens when the panic button is pressed?
The transmitter sends a distinctive audible pulse tone that monitoring personnel can hear through compatible receivers. The tone can serve as the agency's signal to initiate a predetermined response. It does not transmit GPS coordinates, automatically contact dispatch or replace continuous monitoring by the operational team.
Can multiple officers hear the panic alert?
Yes. Multiple receivers properly configured for the Spectre 300 frequency can monitor the same transmission, allowing surveillance officers, supervisors, perimeter personnel and arrest teams to hear both live audio and the panic tone. MAXSUR can provide additional receiver and antenna configurations based on the operation.
What range should an agency expect?
The specification sheet publishes approximately one mile or more under favorable line-of-sight conditions. Buildings, vehicles, body loading and other obstructions can reduce that distance, while a properly positioned vehicle or high-gain receiving antenna may improve it. MAXSUR can help plan the monitoring position so both voice audio and the panic alert reliably reach the team.
Is Spectre 300 encrypted?
No. Spectre 300 is an analog NFM transmitter. Analog audio can remain partially intelligible as signal strength declines instead of dropping out abruptly like many digital links, but it should not be treated as encrypted or interception-proof. Agencies requiring encrypted transmission should consider Hornet or Phantom.
Does Spectre 300 record audio?
No onboard recording function is identified in the supplied Spectre 300 documentation. It is designed for live transmission and panic notification. Choose Hornet when the mission requires encrypted live audio and simultaneous transmitter-side recording, or contact MAXSUR to discuss a complete monitoring and recording configuration.
Does Spectre 300 include a monitoring receiver?
No receiver is listed among the included items in the supplied specification sheet. A compatible receiver and receiving antenna configured for the Spectre 300 frequency are required for live monitoring and panic-tone reception. MAXSUR can quote a complete system or configure the transmitter for compatible agency equipment.
Can MAXSUR configure an agency-specific frequency?
Yes. The published frequency range is 150 to 174 MHz, with 168.365 MHz identified as the standard frequency. MAXSUR will confirm availability, receiver compatibility and the agency's approved operating requirements before quotation.
How long does Spectre 300 operate on a battery?
The published average runtime is approximately 4.5 hours using a 9 V alkaline battery under stated conditions. Actual runtime varies with battery brand, capacity, condition, temperature and equipment configuration. For longer missions, begin with a fresh, verified battery and include battery-life planning in the pre-operation check.
Who is eligible to purchase Spectre 300?
Spectre 300 is intended for authorized law-enforcement, government and qualified public-safety customers. MAXSUR will confirm purchaser eligibility, mission requirements, operating frequency and final system configuration before sale.
