I tried the Leica. Lousy range. It might do 10’ deep but you have to be very
close to pick up the signal. Not like you start picking it up 100’ away from
the beacon. I have tried several brands of beacons and they all have the same
problem. HDD drill sondes work so much better because they
Last question... (tonight)...
How close does the Sonde have to be to what the receiver is?
I have an existing Ditch Witch 150R receiver which says it works with 30kHz
sondes.
I am thinking about buying the Metrotech vScan which says it works
with 32.768kHz sondes.
Would those most likely work

Assuming I source a sonde / beacon first and then find an adapter?

I have always felt null was more precise. But that is all I had back in 1978
when I was first learning about cable locating.

Carl,
Our favorite locator is the ViperMag. I think it was ~3000 retail. As to
its accuracy, based on my one time usage last week I spotted the drill
sticks 100% and got the distance within inches. My locator tech says it's
100x better than the old one when there's noise (nearby other

If youre getting drilled in Florida, right nows the time to get it done.
Everybody is migrating south for the winter. Depends on the duct size,
depth, etc. Florida and Texas are full of drill operators, some arent high
on meth during the workday. Youll get prices from 5-50 a foot back. The big
If the line is grounded on both ends, yes it will work. But it needs the
grounds to complete the circuit. The line grounded at both ends form a one
turn transformer. The coils in the transmitter couple with this one turn loop
to create the total circuit so you can locate it.
Same with
I recently found out my utiliguard has a mode where you just set the
transmitter on the ground above a suspected line, the more inline the
better and whether its inductance or what, it puts the signal onto the
buries conductor and the wand can locate it...sometimes
It has its limits because theres
