For each "hair movement", I will also need to adjust the sensitivity and antenna position after entering some specific sequences of calculator buttons. Then walk past a target placed on the ground and make observations of what I see happening with the antenna.

Just out of curiosity, was this incredibly complex "tuning" procedure a part of the enclosed instructions (that accompanies all Examiners), or is it something special that was transmitted to you by R-T?
Hi Theseus,
This is included in the instructions as a "last resort" in the case you don't see the results expected after following the other instructions. There is nothing complex about it, but it requires looking for a very hard-to-find setting that may take some time for a new user of an Examiner. From what I read, this is only necessary on a few units that show poor performance. Apparently, I have a unit that needs this adjustment.

Best wishes,
