I installed a 2-3 acre section of undergound electronic Radio Dog Fence several years ago. On those several acres are several thousand gophers.
Today one of those thousand gophers ate one of those thousand feet of wire and I'm getting the fault alarm.
The radio fence manual is rediculous. It says to start at the half way point and patch back to the control unit and keep doing it until the broken section is located. That would take me several years and several thousand feet of patch cords. Beside that I can't pinpoint the flags (gophers ate those too!)
I want a scientific method of pinpointing the break however I don't want to invest $1000's in a TDR (time domain reflectometer).
I do have some old signal generators and I heard there's an AM radio method.
Anyone have any tips at locating the break. The dog doesn't really need it anymore but I want to preserve it for future generations.
TIA
