I've now managed to generate working wav files at 15-45kHz in 5kHz incremen=
ts, and the detector could detect them all clearly when played on the M10. =
It's a pity the recorder doesn't support higher bit rates, it would make a =
nice portable calibrator. Thanks for that idea, Raimund.
For what it's worth, I ended up using sox to generate the files, with this =
command (with the help of the sox users mailing list):
sox -r 96000 -n -c 2 -b 24 stereo30k.wav synth 60 sine 30000
I should now work out what I did wrong in Audacity to end up with a file th=

been sabotaged by something I did wrong in Audacity.
