J_P, there are obviously many places in the R-T Examiner manual that talk about the importance of the
antenna, the length and the tuning by adjusting the antenna length to the various desired frequencies of operation.
From these references, one would have to suppose the
antenna is functioning in a manner that is
totally electronic in nature; coupling, receiving and transmitting real frequencies. This operation would be completely
contrary to the long antenna arm of a simple dowsing rod, which essentially operates as a swinging weight to emphasize and respond to an ideomotor input from the operator. In essence, the long arm of the dowsing rod swings and indicates the force of
gravity. (nothing electronic going on at all)
Assuming the antenna on the Examiner is, according to the manual, operating in
a totally electronic nature, I would be remiss if I did not point out to you, one very important parameter of short whip antennas.
That is; the maximum signal strength of any antenna of this nature, will always occur at 90 degrees to the physical length dimension of the antenna. In other words, the strongest signal transmitted (or received) will occur broadside to the antenna. Thus, saying that the tip of the antenna of the device is being drawn to the target by magnetic properties, is actually
contrary to how the electronic properties of a short whip antenna operate.
Could it be that it is just another indicator of
gravity?
