SIGNAL STRENGTH
Absolute Signal Strength
The Stick Locator receiver provides the operator with a direct measurement of the
receiver’s signal strength. The measurement is displayed with two numerical
digits (ex: 85) located at the top of the LCD display. The measurement range is
from 0 to 99 indicating a very weak signal (0) to a very strong signal (99). Absolute
Signal Strength is independent of the GAIN setting or meter reading. It gives the
operator information about the actual amount of signal being radiated from the
conductor and received by the receiver.
The Absolute Signal Strength will not be displayed if the gain is too high or too low.
Adjust the GAIN to move the meter reading to mid-scale. The numerical display will
change from ‘--’ to a valid measurement.
The GAIN up and down buttons are used to increase and decrease the gain in
small amounts.
