Noise cancel

[MasonDixonMding]

This doesn’t happen often to me, maybe that’s why it’s taken me so long to figure this out? Once in awhile my detector will give my pin pointer bad emi. When this happened I had to move my detector farther away than I would normal put it.
In stead of having to move my detector I turn my pin pointer on than push noise cancel on my detector. The detector will pick a different frequency and no more emi.

I have never seen or heard of a pinpointer getting EMI

It's the detector picking up the emi from the pinpointer.

I've had that issue Mason talked about. Doing the noise cancel on the detector works great for that, because the pinpointer is a narrow single frequency. That makes it much easier for the detector's frequency shift to get out of the range of the pinpointer's frequency.

Although I only have to do that with my PI pinpointers when using a SMF detecor. I don't recall ever having to do that with my VLF pinpointers....although it's been a long time since I've used a VLF pinpointer.

Mason,

What pinpointer and detector?
