Is the GT200 intended as stand-alone equipment?
The GT200 should be used as first indication only, and conventional methods should always be used to confirm the result of the lock. By definition, a ‘lock’ means a triangulated position. It can be used as confirmation of suspicions. The GT200 saves the search team and canine’s working time for more efficient working. When the GT200 is used by a canine team, the area of search can be indicated from a greater distance than the dog can smell, so putting the dog in the right area quickly. This ensures that the dog is sent in to more specific area, thus saving it from sniffing fruitlessly in unproductive areas.
