 Just depends on whether you want your vacuum inside, or outside !
 ;)

 Personally, I'd never want to use a vacuum inside a transmission line,
 be it wave guide or hard line, or other. It pretty much guarantees you'll push
 ( pull ? Does it matter ? ) atmospheric water into the line, which will then need
 purged, even if it doesn't rupture seals designed for pressure in the other direction.

 I'll be real interested in real world experience with a sonic detector though,
 with TX blowers running, HVAC, and all the rest.
