Ed,
It is one of the DIY "kit" units. However it is the recently
released RX3, not the older RX2 or RX1. Under controlled test
conditions, this unit picks up a spark at 100+ feet vs. 35 feet for
the previous model. What that equates to in terms of sensitivity
specifications I leave to brighter minds. (Disclaimer: while I do
not profit in any way from sales of this unit, I did play a minor
role in the R&D process)
The power company has checked that pole twice with a Radar Engineers
model 250 without hearing anything.
I'm now questioning whether in fact I have the right pole. It is
hard to have faith in my findings on those windy days when I could
barely hold onto the dish.

Paul,
What brand/model of ultrasonic unit are you using?
If it's one of them DIY "kit" units, you might want to use a more sensitive
unit if you want to confirm your findings. Or possible just have the
utility confirm your findings with their equipment, assuming they are using
better equipment.
