Dronetag has introduced Scout Gen 2, a fixed receiver intended to help public-safety teams monitor nearby drones. DroneDJ reports that it receives Remote ID signals on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, including through directional antennas.
Dronetag says its high-performance configuration can detect Skydio aircraft beyond five miles. That is a manufacturer claim, not an independently verified range test. The expanded reception could help agencies maintain awareness around drone-as-first-responder operations.
