That has been the issue with the Equinox Tom. If I have bad EMI, the noise cancel does nothing!

Hi Tom
I think most of us are IDing Stainless with the Equinox above the "0" point now. So, what you're saying Stainless will now ID at 0 to -14?
Questions
It would seem difficult because most stainless on the Equinox IDs in the gold range. Any hint as to how the Manticore can take a metal that IDs in the gold range and now make it 0 to-14? AND Still keep gold +1 and bet

RUT ROH.........Well just a few comments. As a Water Hunter, I DO NOT like all the coil cross supports. I am guessing field hunters will not like it either. I am also rather surprised they are going with a hand grip pod after all the problems with beach hunters ripping out the mounting screws.
