Marty,
Thanks. For a couple of years I couldn't think with the idea of remote metering at all, then eventually it made sense to me how it could theoretically work. Then I had about 60 hours of auditing from Robert D and got a personal reality on its workability, at least with Robert. He said that for him it only worked when he was in session with someone, and that it didn't work when he was just chatting to someone, i.e. he's still holding the cans while chatting, the other person being unaware of that fact. He audits raw public, and they don't know about the meter either, but in session they still react on his meter.
I've tried a couple of sessions where I remote metered the other person and it didn't work for me. I wasn't too concerned about that, as I still had attention tied up in the mechanics of it all and not enough on the pc.
Long story short, I can't do a sensible (!) remote meter test. It won't work on meter drills. Also, Robert told me he needed to run it at high sensitivity to get the other person to register. My needle is usually pretty loose, and my metering isn't up to picking up reads through a loose needle. The mechanics of doing such a test aren't too hard, as long as the auditor is familiar with remote metering and auditor and pc have video feeds and audio feeds, like a speakerphone. Needs synchronising of two video recordings, split screen basically, but not impossible.
