[Electronics-Talk] Buzz clip

[Tracy Carcione]

It sends out a cone wave, so no.  If it's in the center of my body, more or
less, it covers my sides and front. I forget how wide the cone is, but it's
at least 24-30 inches, I think.

Soon though that it only buzzes when you have the level that it is so if you
have it on your pants then it only will buzz on the stuff that is right in
front of it. Not anything else?
