Running in Disc mode the Omega chirps and TDI jumps around over 70 sens. Also the tab that shows iron, foil, tabs, etc. jumps around. I have the 11" DD on detector. Everything calms down under 70 sens but it goes crazy over 70. I read where it will stabilize after you start swing the coil but it does not. I have used the ground grab and that does not help either. Any ideas.....Thanks

I'm far from one who knows all about the 8K but I have a feeling that you've got the sens too high for your area. 70 is a threshold area. Once you get over that number, other factors come in. to play The experts will, I hope, explain. Don't give up, I've only got about 2 hours on mine but like it more each time I use it.

Check your cable to case connection.Be sure there is no strain on the cable. NO STRAIN at all. Check batt connectors. Make sure there is a good battery in it, and good battery contact. I know some folks who put used batteries in a new machine when they get it. That's asking for trouble. If your problem still persists, try putting on one of your other coils. Try the 10" Concentric.
Hi,
i`ve got the same with a chatty omega. Then i read in the manual.. ;-)
When Sens is at 70, it is at the maximum sensitivity. when you turn over 70, only the threashold level starts changing.
Let me tell you in my words. You have a border, which signals are given as a sound into the earphone and which not. surely the detector always got a sound, but the user only hear the biggest peaks. surely, because a signal ist just the different between the ground noise and the signal noise.
when you increase the sens level, you decrease the border of which signals are given as a sound... so you get MORE signals.... and the omega is getting chatty !
in the manual is no information about is it is only in disc mode or in allmetal too, but i think its in allmetal too.
so remeber.. sens 70 you are still in maximum sens !
sorry for my english, but i think you can understand what i mean.
