Jim, it is nice to know what the more expensive of the two components would be. I will work the problem from that angle. Your help is much appreciated! I will let you know what I come up with and how it works. Thanks again.

Jim, I just tried the calculator from your link. It is similar to others I have tried. It requires me to know the value of capacitance and inductance to give the resonant frequency. My problem is that I know the frequency, and have no idea what capacitance or inductance to use, or haw to make an...

Dave, The problem with using a simple measurement for distance in the pipe is that pipes take a lot of twists and turns and ups and downs under ground. Jim, thanks for the formula, but as I stated before, I have not used this math in decades. I will follow the link you provided and see if I can...

Sorry for the delay in response, had a hard time figuring out how to reply - I'm new to this. Anyway, he is trying to locate the camera inside the pipe. The camera goes down the pipe and when he finds damage to the pipe, he wants to locate the camera so he can mark where to dig to fix the problem.

I'm trying to help a Plummer friend out. I was once a pretty good Navy Tech with good component level trouble shooting skills, but that is long in the past and I have forgotten all of the math required to figure out even the most simple circuits. He has a sewer camera with a locator for it. He...
