Kim, In the case of a flashing or blinking light, does the probe give intermittent audible beeps to indicate such versus a solid tone to indicate a light that stays on?

Yes, that is so true. We have a modem from Clearwire and all five lights need to be blinking before we have a strong signal. Rich has a light probe and it works perfect. We also use it for lights in the house if they are left on or not and that probe is a life saver especially when you are paying the electric bill.
