For 42,000 dollars? There's a product there you could develop, John.

 
It's only $19,998.99 from Fluke:
<https://www.fluke.com/en-us/product/industrial-imaging/fluke-ii905>
That might have been the price from before the tariffs arrived: "Ships
from supplier. Expected to arrive on or before Tue. May 06." "Country of
Origin: China (subject to change)"

explains a few differences:

Imagers"

Bruel & Kjaer has been providing systems for acoustic imaging for decades,
a similar handheld system to the Fluke:

Quite a bit more capable but probably not quite so cheap.

Cheap?  I can't afford any of them.  I'm still saving my pennies for
an IR camera.

Drivel:  I just blew up my ancient Delcon (HP) 4905A Ultrasonic
Translator detector.

It works well enough for my limited purposes, but rather than trying
to repair it (again), I was thinking about buying a shiny new
