Abstract
A portable device is described for use with a system in which a transmitter signal is transmitted by a transmitter from within the ground during an operational procedure. The transmitter signal includes a transmission frequency that is selectable as one of a group of discrete transmission frequencies and the region includes electromagnetic noise that varies. The portable device includes a receiver that measures noise continuously along a path, with the transmitter inactive, to generate one or more indications for each discrete frequency at each location and continuously update the one or more indications for use in selecting one of the discrete frequencies as a selected transmission frequency to avoid local interference.
