Hi David,
You've made some interesting points. I can't say I know the answers to thos=
e questions...But, I look forward to reporting my findings, etc. back here =
to the Group.
I've wanted a Time expansion detector for years now... In my case, around =
=A3450 is the most I'd be able to spend on one. Which currently leaves me w=
ith only one choice: The Tranquility Transect (in the UK).
Well, I'm always happy to see new bat detectors become available!
(especially if they're within my budget!)
I hope to have something to report soon!
Best regards,
-Al
