That claim is what I contend IS NOT HAPPENING, and if you think there is a possibility it could be happening (as claimed) you are sorely mistaken and I'm quite surprised an otherwise rational thinking individual would even entertain such a notion.

Actually, I have not conveniently side stepped those issues. The fact is I have not done extensive testing to determine what if any signal is present between the Examiner and a distant target. Some preliminary testing showed that the equipment I was using did not detect a "signal line". I was able to detect a signal some small distance from the Examiner ground probe, but since I haven't done extensive testing, I do not have facts to report about that signal. Therefore I can only say I don't know if a signal is being radiated or returned from a target, and it doesn't look promising. By the way, where did you obtain your facts to contend that claim "IS NOT HAPPENING"?
Through testing an Examiner with signal detecting instruments?
By testing equipment different than an Examiner?
How scientific was your test?
What did you use for a control?
My opinion is a rational person would not make statements about how an Examiner performs when they never held an Examiner in their hands, and tested only equipment that is different than an Examiner, and was not manufactured by Rangertell. It brings to mind a person who might test drive a Fiat Brava, then decide Ferraris are are junk because his test drive in a Fiat proved it. But I am still happy to read your logic in the Remote Sensing forum.
