9. You have now calibrated your patrol
vehicle’s best leakage set-up, by com-
pensating for the obstructions on it
(e.g. ladders, rack, antenna cable,
etc.).
Turn your frequency-generat-
ing source “OFF”.
10. With your leakage meter docked
and vehicle antenna in place, you are
set-up for patrolling.
11. Make this a weekly routine to re-
calibrate your equipment.

~ Patrol/Drive-Outs for
Leakage Sources in the Field
At this point of the guide, you should
be familiar with the functions of your
meter and the procedures for con-
ducting a calibrated leak successfully.
A good field technician must have a
good understanding of the basics
before they can successfully patrol for
cable leakage. If you feel confident in
your abilities so far, you are ready to
start patrolling for cable leakage.

NOTE: move the vehicle away when performing step b. The vehicle has a large influence on the measured
field strength by the dipole antenna.
