OK. I confess I've never had a wire fall on me. But there are better
tools. MFJ (I hate to admit) sells an ultrasonic microphone much like
those used by professional power providers. It is far better at locating
problems than the walking battery-powered radio. Arcs and coronal
discharges produce copious amounts of acoustical energy above our hearing
frequency limits as well as RF energy. It's a wonderful tool.
