No, tested it like the stock coil. Swinged the small coil several minutes outside and the sens was 85 and it was as a quiet as a mice.

Tested the machine with GP Recyko+ rechargeables and the same thing happens, if sens. goes above 69..the machine goes nuts.
I think the boys and the girls in the factory should be informed about this issue?

Well i got the Makro racer pro pack and i was testing the detector outside with the stock coil. Outside temperature was -2 degrees of celsius.
The detector will work normally for a few minutes and the sensitivity is at 70. After a while the alarm will start to sound and the display says saturation. Lowering the sensitivity to 69 will stop the alarm and the saturation message.
I have tested
