C.Scope Locators – Radiodetection Alternatives

C.Scope locators have long been used by electricians and contractors for underground cable and pipe detection. However, for many customers in Australia, Radiodetection locators offer advantages in precision, range of features, and ongoing support.

Radiodetection’s models such as the RD8200, RD7200 and MRX series offer multiple frequency options, signal clarity, GPS-mapping functionality (in the “SG” versions), and advanced fault-find capabilities that often outperform basic locating tools in congested underground environments or in tricky soil conditions.

What You Gain with Radiodetection

• Signal clarity: Better rejection of interference and clearer trace paths.
• Feature range: More frequencies, depth measurement, signal strength, fault locate, etc.
• Accuracy & Reliability: Trusted by utilities and councils under real site conditions.
• Local backup: Testrix offers training, warranty & technical service in Australia.

Trade-Offs and Value

C.Scope may offer lower entry cost, but in many professional jobs, investing a bit more in Radiodetection means safer excavations, fewer mistakes, and better data (especially for mapping & documentation).
