    Many of todays trainers were yesterday's ass kissers who didn't know a transmitter from a receiver. Gotta love a trainer who tells you to open up an electric meter and hook up to the neutral to locate it. The problem was he was telling me to hook up to a live secondary service. Anyone have a rubber glove???

    Never mind the Safety Factor, what's the Electric Co. going to do when it finds it's meter has been tampered with?

    Who on earth would tell you to do that????!!!!!!! They should be turned in and definitely should NOT be a trainer... they shouldn't even be a locator!!! That is the worst advise/training information I have ever heard!!

    I really believe Trainers should not be left in that position over a year at a time It seems as if they have a tendency to only teach theory and forget what the real world is like.
