The theory of LRL operation is
to transmit a signal into the ground that will excite the distant buried
target. A “signal line” is established between the transmitter and the
target, and the dowsing rods are used to detect and track the signal line.
Because the receiving half of the VR-800 is just a pair of simple dowsing
rods, it stands to reason that the transmitter half somehow justifies the
suggested retail price of $1995. Let's start with a look at the transmit
box.

I forgot to link to this page
detailing the inner workings of some questionable devices I mentioned on Saturday. I got so sidetracked on the
audiophile scams that I totally neglected the whole long range location
devices.
What's neat about that site is it goes into quite a bit of detail of just
how shady these things are, and how they work (or rather, don't).
It's just amazing that people fall for this type of stuff.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its
owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
