''' Wave Scanner''' is an [[SRV]]-specific module that is currently only available on the [[Scarab]]. It is a unidirectional, long-range, forward-facing scanner that detects a variety of objects and points of interest, including [[ships]], [[Skimmers]], [[Defence Turrets]], [[data points]], [[Raw Materials|Raw Material deposits]], and [[Cargo Canister]]s.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
When the SRV is facing a point of interest, the wave scanner displays the signal received from it in a band which narrows as the SRV approaches the object. The signal is also converted to audio which can be used to estimate the position of the SRV relative to the [[POI]].<ref name=":0">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/92euc6/srv_wave_scanner_quick_reference_guide_common/ reddit: SRV Wave Scanner Quick Reference Guide (Common Salvage and Scannables)]</ref><br />
<br />
The Wave Scanner can differentiate three types of signal sources: natural, vessel, and artificial. Each has its own signal pattern: natural signals indicate the positions of fragments that can be mined, and have the lowest frequency, occupying the lowest part of the radar and emitting a low-pitched sound; vessel signals point to vessels of any kind, including ships and ship crash sites and have medium frequency; high-frequency signals indicate the presence of various data points and settlement systems.<ref name=":0" /><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/91qt6r/srv_wave_scanner_quick_reference_guide_synthesis/ reddit: SRV Wave Scanner Quick Reference Guide (Synthesis Resources)]</ref><br />
