MJM J: You are correct. I had misread the info on the webpage, thinking they had written 15 meters. The distance is 5 meters, or about 16 feet. I have corrected the post.

Are they just going to ignore its signals during that period? What about the hole filling in/collapsing above the probe after its in place?
