A Scout Goes Ahead and Reports Back

Ask in your own words. Scout answers from what is in the Bureau and points at the clip and the timestamp it came from, so you can go and watch the bit that matters.

What Scout will always tell you

There is a lot of misinformation about using this kit. Scout is held to Sygma’s method rather than the general-internet version, and these are the rules it cannot talk its way around.

vocabulary

Always "Genny and CAT", never "CAT and Genny".

The name states the method: you connect the Genny first. Saying it the other way round teaches the wrong order to anyone — and anything — reading it.

sequence

Connect the Genny first. A survey starts with a signal applied, not with a passive sweep.

Passive modes only tell you what happens to be radiating at that moment. Actively applying a signal is what turns a sweep into a survey.

safety

A clean CAT sweep proves nothing about plastic.

Plastic carries no signal. A quiet locator over plastic gas or water reads exactly the same as a locator over undisturbed ground.
