What is the Seeker?
TheSeekerisspecicallydesignedforefcientdistributionleakagemanagement,displaying
numerical measurements of leaks on up to ten selectable channels and emitting a tone
proportional to leak strength. The Seeker is a frequency-agile leakage detector (109.25 to
110.5 MHz and 118.50 to 147.25 MHz) with 10 user-selectable presets.
Older Seekers do not include the low band frequency from
109.25 to 110.5 MHz. Seekers that are low band frequency
compatible will have a label on the back of the device
indicating “LOW BAND ENABLED.”
The Seeker may be used in its Mobile Mount for driveouts, or removed from the mount for
leakage troubleshooting on foot with a rubber duck or optional dipole antenna.
