The first thing I will be doing is a calibration of the tester to make sure it is functioning properly. I know it will need some fine tuning because of the intermittent operation I observed so far. So far the fine tuning has been difficult. After I am sure it is calibrated to me or whoever else is using it, then the field testing will begin. While the Rangertell instructions don't mention anything about the weather, I suspect it will be easier to get a good adjustment when the air is dry and the ground is not muddy.

At present, I am preparing a web page to keep tract of progress, which will be made public when I am ready to start the first of the field tests. I will make another update after the ground is no longer muddy and no rain in the forecast.

I am also looking for any people in the Los Angeles area who are interested in helping with the testing of the Rangertell Examiner. If anyone would like to try it out or help conduct some tests, send me a PM so we can make arrangements.

Best wishes,

Too bad Mike couldn't come down to your area. That way he could get some of the results firsthand, and he wouldn't have to speculate and skepticize(*) how the testing is being conducted, and in what State of the Union.

* skepticize is a word I made up

I'm still wondering why Mike thought the unit would be shipped to Iowa; wasn't the Deliver To Address clear?
