>> DOUG: Trilithic is introducing its new digital leakage equipment, the Seeker D and
also the MCA III and the CT-4 Channel Tagger. When we built this equipment we were trying
to provide a solution for two issues. One, in an all-digital plant I do not have
the traditional analog carrier that I can lock onto with my analog leakage gear.
And two, I realize that I have to monitor a much higher frequency up near where the
cell phones operate. Cable companies if they have leaks in those
frequencies can cause interference with cell phone operation.
The Seeker D allows you to monitor both frequencies in the same ride-out.
In other words I can patrol for leakage in the aeronautical band and I can also patrol
for leakage at a much higher frequency range where the cell phones operate.

The way we do this is we switch rapidly back and forth between the two frequencies.
Quickly enough that we can monitor both very well in one ride-out.
But also slowly enough so that we can tune to each individual frequency and detect any
energy that is there. [pause]
The MCA III is part of this system as well as the CT-4 Channel Tagger.
The Channel Tagger will be required with the Seeker digital system.
Also, this equipment is completely compatible with the Leakage Analysis Workshop software,
the LAW Server software if you have it. In other words, if I have got several Seekers
right now with the LAW software and it is up and running fine, I do not have to completely
replace all of my Seekers, I can add on a couple of Seeker Ds and they will be able
to upload to the LAW server just like my analog Seekers will.
So I can have a mixed platform. This will require an upgrade to the LAW software
but it is otherwise completely compatible. [pause]
Trilithic has provided a solution for digital leakage that is really one of the more economical
out there. And it adapts well with the existing product
that our customers are already using. [pause]
Those of you that have used our Seeker analog leakage detector will notice that the Seeker
D looks much the same, it actually acts the same in a lot of ways.
The layout is similar, the power button, the snapshot key, the way I navigate through the
menus is the same. You will notice I can now tune to the higher
frequency range as well as the aircraft band. I can set this thing to monitor the traditional
bandwidth, aircraft band, I can set it to monitor the higher frequencies where the cell
phones operate or I can set it to monitor both.

There are two different antennas, the analog rubber duck antenna and then the higher frequency
rubber duck antenna if you will. Depending upon what specific frequency you
are using when you are trying to walk the plant out and find that actual leak.
Otherwise it acts and operates essentially the same as the Seeker that you are using
now or that you are most familiar with. [pause]
