Finding the RLP to Confirm Transmitter Heading and Position
Finding the RLP will allow you to confirm the transmitter’s heading and position. Like the FLP,
the RLP is represented as a ball ( ) on the receiver display.
Continue locating:
10. From the LL, facing toward the drill or last transmitter location, walk forward while
keeping the ball aligned on the vertical crosshairs. Notice how the signal strength
decreases as you move away from the transmitter.
