14MHZ CABLE TRACKER TONER, does any one use this toner? I bought this toner but I don't see any diference for a regular speaker toner. I may not be using it right. What is the advantage of using this toner.

Any installer working in the CCTV, CATV, Satellite, or other industry utilizing coaxial cable needs to get this tool! Most coaxial toners on the market today use voltage to trace and verify cable integrity. The problem with the voltage style toner is it is incompatible with most all splitters and other distribution devices.

This unit's Transmiter (Black) sends a 14MHz signal down the cable which is capable of passing through splitters, amplifiers, and other signal distribution equipment. The included Receiver (Red) simply connects at the other end of the cable system you are tracking. If the 14MHz signal is present, the yellow light on the Receiver will illuminate. The receiver unit will register the 14MHz signal with up to a 10dB attenuation.

The Transmitters 14MHz signal can also be read using any analog signal meter making troubleshooting a bad connector, splitter, or return path problem a breeze! [/FONT]

I see it as big advantage for CCTV with bandwidth lower then the 14 MHz, to be sure your signal will be OK.
But for CATV and higher Sat frequencies doesn't fit.
