Topband: Radar Engineers Model 240 NOISE LOCATING

[D Andersen]

Hello Tod K0TO,

I have many hours using the Model 250 and it can find the exact nut or bolt doing the sparking while standing on the ground.  I have used an older version of the Model 240 made by a different manufacturer and it can find the exact pole causing the problem.   For narrowing down the search to find a closer neighborhood I use the car radio on 530KHz or 1710KHz.  All three are needed for a different part of the search.  If you only use the car radio as a detection system you still can find most of the poles.  A little tapping on the pole with a hammer while listening to the car radio will give you an indication(sputtering).

Don, w7dd
