Re: How to locate 22/4 jacketed buried in wall.

["ABLE_1" <royboynospam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob,

A small warning.  Make sure that the wire is open before connecting the
driver and walking to the other end to find the buried wire.  Because if you
don't you will not be ABLE to find the tone.  This will be due to the driver
smoking a bit.

I have to rebuild mine because of this little whoops.  I think the next one
will have a 10ohm load resistor built in, but I don't know how much that
will decrease the output.  Must experiment a little on this.

So all should be aware before actually making MY type of tone generator.

Good luck and have a good weekend.

Les
