will the detector work while sitting on a farm tractor?

I haven't found any place it won't work. I clip it to my belt when I'm out on the property. It hasn't failed me yet.

Unless the unit is totally enclosed in a tractor cab, it should work. Key is that it is not indoors or completely surrounded by any kind of metal. My home is the metallic radiant barrier material in all exterior walls and ceiling. It would not work hardly at all with those surroundings.

Would likely not work very well. I would expect interference similar to an automobile. If the tractor was off, it would be great. When running there would likely be many false alarms which would distract from real ones.

In my opinion, if the tractor is running, ignition noise may interfere with the unit's reception.A horse-drawn tractor...no problem.

I'm not sure. I have found that having it too close to my laptop computer or my low power amateur radio equipment results in a few false alarms, but it still detects distant lightning strikes. If your tractor has a roof I would mount it as high as possible where it can be seen.

I see that as a very appropriate use of this particular detector. It could save a life. The only possible problem I can see is if the tractor's ignition system is very noisy, and the detector sees that noise as possible lightning. If so, the detector will tell you it does not like the environment it is being used in, and will ask to be repositioned. But at the bottom line, I would buy one and try it out. I expect you will like it. I know I would never go hiking in lightning season without carrying one of these little detectors.

That's a two fold answer. It will see the bug if in plan sight but is covert but will need to be powered on to detect it. All detectors only detect the frequency they emit. Hope that helps...

Yes sure. Just put down the sensor a little bit, and it catch it. The sensor es very sensitive.

It will work as a detector, but it will not relay the message to any central monitoring company without a control panel.

I strongly doubt it. Since it depends on suction, it needs a smooth, non-porous surface and the detector only works when it can "see" the incoming radar/laser signals.

No. The CellSensor detects the 'field strenght' (for health) as opposed to the 'signal message'. You'd be beter off with a WiFi sniffer for that use.

You do have to be pretty close to the wire for the sensor to pick it up, so I don't think it would detect it at all underground. Besides that, even if it could, it's not designed to clarify where an abrupt end to a signal is, so if you lost the signal, it could mean the wire is broke or you are no longer following the wire. Bottom line, this tool is not the way to resolve your problem.

I would not expect it to. The Amazon site claims "Motion detecting range 40 ft Operating range up to 800 ft" Can you place the sensor within the 40 ft of the mailbox? I would expect yes and it would definetly sense the car. However you want the receiver 300 yards away. I believe that would be 900 ft which is 100 feet beyond an ideal case line-of-sight no obstruction situation which is the norm for a manufacturers specification. My general experience would suggest that if you get half (400ft) the rating under good conditions, you're lucky.

yes, as long as you have the sensor and the locator and you have it set up.

Yes, as long as you postion the GPS unit close enough to a window it can detect the satilite signal. Otherwise, the structure you are in will prevent the unit from detecting the signal and will tell you that on the screen.

I believe if you push it into the ground as far as it will go the sensor will pick up a skunk moving along the ground==we use ours for deer so I'm not positive, but I know my German Shepherd sets it off every time she goes near it!

Yes. It can read 'live data' from the computer and sensors while driving. It also shows speed and rpm. Look on the Internet for details on this scan tool.

The sensors are on a Dodge Grand Caravan. I highly doubt it work send a signal that far. Honestly, I would stay away from this product all together. It does not work well at all - I sent a question a month ago to the seller and they have not responded - I wish I had gone with a higher quality system, probably OEM would have been a better choice.

It does not assist the main detector, and it would add weight to the shaft of the main detector. Turn it off and put it in your pocket/holster/apron, whatever.

It detects motion from up to 15 feet away according to the listing so if it's in that range then yes.

Hi, No it will not. It's for reading engine codes. The Alarm system is an auxiliary system is if it is monitored at all.

The motion detector range is about 15 feet to 20 feet but if you place one in barn the wireless signal should work no problem. Plus I believe Fortress makes a booster panel to increase the signal. Maybe you could mount the booster outside and that would work even better. My furthest sensor is about 80 feet and it works through my house over my garage and shed.
