^o^ WOW! The Pettersson D1000X bat detector, developed >20 years ago by Lars Pettersson (Pettersson Elektronik). For many years it was regarded as the highest quality, best performing detector ever made. I was fortunate to occasionally borrow one, & with its HD/FD/TED options & built in memory storage, it really was a game changer. Huge thanks to Erika Dahlberg for sending us one to re-engage with. If you want to learn more about Lars, there is a brilliant interview on Talking Bat: https://batability.podbean.com/e/talking-bat-with-lars-pettersson-founder-of-pettersson-elektronik/
