Deus getting noisey

Started getting some extra noise lately. Adjusted the sensitivity and TX power with only slight improvement.Then I noticed that if I taped the coil with my finger it would sound off. Tried all 4 freq. with the same results.

Could the coil have developed a problem?

Thanks

hmmmmm

doesn't sound so good :-/

I know if I bounce mine off of something like a shrub/scrub tree or the like it will chirp but not during normal use. Sometimes in extremely wet grass it will sound off a bit too.

I have however ran into emi problems hunting directly under power lines to where I had to drop the sens. down to like 70 to get it to shut up and run stable but very seldom.

Let us know what you figure out.

Check your ground bal..

If its in Manual and ran down too low it will false on everything it touches...

Yea Keith I checked the GB several times. I did not see how it would react in tracking but just for the heck of it I will try and see if any changes.
I can tap the top of the coil on the charger side and it really sounds off.

I also noticed that it seems like the tone is drawn out and not sharp like it was but I need to check some more.
Not sure if XP America is open today but will give them a call this am.

I had another problem the other day. I completely lost the expert function under senestivity in all freq.. Finally pluged it in and went Thur. The update process and the expert option returned.

Doggone it I hate to send it in but not looking real good right not.

I need a backup. Putting some thought into a MXT pro.

Keith thanks for the wake up.

I put the Deus in tracking and it ran 10 to 12 points higher than it would GB when using pumping. Quiet as a church mouse now.

10 plus points sure seems like a large spread. From. 72 to 85. Now I wonder which is the most accurate!

Could not tell any difference in depth in the garden but the ID numbers settled down some with the higher GB setting from tracking

Man I have a lot to learn.

What does the screen say your ground mineralization is vs. what your unit is running/tracking??? The top number is what the ground mineralization actually is and the bottom number is what your unit is running at. Generally, you want 3 points higher on the lower number.
