Dear Sarah,
Hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is Carlos Valenzuela. We ordered recently from you a Geode and an Archer2 for our EM38K2, which we use for electric conductivity measures in an antimagnetic zone of let’s say 2 square meters around it.
I am worrying about placing the geode support (pole or other system) and the external antenna close to the EM38K2 as I understand they are both metalic and after considering the goods you offer for placing the Geode or the Archer. Do you have anything non-metalic for holding the Archer and/or the Geode. Thanks for your reply.
Hi Carlos,
Unfortunately, we don’t. I would recommend reaching out to Geonics, as they may have a better idea of what’s available in non-metallic carrying options. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for with them, feel free to reach out again.
