Rangertell delivers!
I received the Rangertell Examiner package from Australia and opened it last night. I was hoping to start field testing today, but after reading the manuals on CD, I realised it will take some time to digest all that is written in the instructions. It may be a few days before I am ready to try it out on targets.
As you can see in the photos below, there are only two items in the box. The Rangertell Examiner, and a CD with instruction manuals, both taped to the bottom of the box. Everything arrived in good condition, and the calculator seems to perform calculator functions fine. I can answer questions here that anyone wants to ask, and next week I should have my web page up for the Examiner testing. The web page should have a lot more detailed information. I will be taking questions posted in the Geotech remote sensing forum to add to the FAQ section of the website. I will also be looking at suggestions for tests to run that are posted in the Geotech forum.
The tests that I perform will eventually be published on my web page along with some public events where people will be able to watch others using the Rangertell Examiner T-G, and trying it out for themselves.
I plan on publishing the results of my own tests last, after everyone else has had a chance to try out the Examiner with their own tests to see how well they can get it to work. If you will be in the Los Angeles area in the near future, be sure to contact me by PM and make arrangements to try it out. We will also be holding a few events in areas such as the California desert, Arizona or Nevada, if you can come to those areas. All the field testing will be done in open areas away from trash and power lines. We would like to also test in some mineralised areas with the hope of recovering some gold or other metal or mineral items.
It may take some time to get the test program rolling. The delay at the moment is because I have only a limited amount of time to come up to speed on the Rangertell instructions before I am ready to begin the field testing. The CD with instructions contains a 2-part instruction manual with a whole lot of pages and notes attached. And there are a lot of additional addendum instructions on the CD too. It looks like it will take a few days just to read the instructions and figure out how to properly calibrate the Examiner. I also need to finish coding the web page, and it all takes time.
But for now, feel free to ask any questions you want here.
There is only one rule for questions here...
Do not post Rangertell calculator key codes here. If you have key codes that came from the Rangertell factory publications, they are proprietary and should not be made public. You can discuss these only in a private message. But if you want to talk about key codes that did not come from the Rangertell factory, such as your own sequence, then you can post it here in the forum or in a PM.
P.S.
Unless I have written permission from the Rangertell factory, I will not open the Rangertell Examiner. Don't even ask. This is a test unit on loan, that must be returned when I am done testing it. I wouldn't want to break anything while opening it, and then end up having to buy it after I know it is broken.
Best wishes,
