Hi All. I saw that Bill Chappell is selling these on his site. Has anyone used it? Your take? Anyone recall which episode(s) of GA it was used on? Thanks!

Do you know if there is a thread for talking about equipment for the technologically challenged? We need one of those….I love hearing about new advances and different theories of what may work and why, but I look like a deer in headlights when people talk about it. There should be Equipment for Dummies somewhere on here.

I don't think we have one like that per say, mainly if you have a question it's explained the best way possible. I know in the magazine there have been equipment for beginners articles a few times.

I will keep an eye out for that. Thank you Ryan!

Ok, I think I kinda get it. So it has nothing to do with sound? (Did I mention I'm technologically challenged?)

The GA episode was the Stanley Hotel ep.

The low resolution is a problem. While I do find the ultrasonic component an interesting idea, until I see a unit with sufficient resolution to show you what you are looking at, this unit's price just disqualifies it in my book. for 1100 right now you can get a FLIR i3. Not the best, but far better than this.

regards,

Andy

Though I may not have the techno-savy you do … what I did read I would have to agree … at best this would be inconclusive .. But technology ideas have to begin somewhere .. hopefully this will be improved and enhanced … hopefully.

I like the ultrasonic idea, where I think this this device will fail is the blending of thermal data with it. It is confusing as there isn't enough thermal data to complete the "picture" lol. I would love to see a separate unit that is ultrasonic "radar" only and produces a similar histogram.

Seems like the thermal inclusion is lacking, using the ultrasonics to fill in the blanks of thermal data. My only issue with this is that if it is thermal that you are after, the i3 just released from FLIR is a fully functional imager (with about the lowest resolution that I would ever try). Still it is a lot better than a histogram. 1100 is the current price, and I expect it will not be long at all before they are sub 1k used. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if new imagers break the 1k price barrier this year.

If Chappel would release an ultrasonic only version (at a savings, that price is just nuts) I would have no problem seeing it as a good instrument for paranormal use.

Granted that the best you would likely accomplish with this is a blob, but for the sake of argument, what would you think the blob caused by? It's not like an emf hit that could be caused by near limitless possibilities. I am in no way saying that we would be able to make the massive leap to blob = ghost, or even blob = paranormal, but I am curious what would set it off.

totally agree Andy. Saw one in action recently. Neat concept, and live readout was cool, but I thought inaccurate and poor resolution. If it was cheaper, maybe.
