A unique “expander” function makes peaks and nulls more pronounced. 
Directional Peak mode combines the response from four peak antennas  
to indicate direction to the cable/pipe while a bar graph and numeric display 
indicate the sharp and accurate dual-peak response. 
Semi-automatic gain set with  manual  override  provides  maximum  flexibility 
and  control. Multi-directional null mode shows null signal response with 
automatic gain and shows cable/pipe location and direction on a unique...
