Constant noise

[Toolman0114]

Ok this is my third time out with my Deus and every time I have constant noise going on in my headphones. I thought the first time emu, but the same thing my second and now third time out. I've tried dropping the sebsitivity, offsetting the frequency. And I get it on all 4 frequencies. I even tried turning off my cellphone in case that was causing it. Just standing here it's going nuts.
What else should I try?

Does the noise abate at all if you increase discrimination or change the ground balance by trying tracking?

Nope, no setting changes stop it. I even hold the coil in the air and it still does it

Are you in the same area? Some places here are just noisy spots at certain times of day. Emi can get ya regardless of your settings.

yep try another spot out in the open away from any emi sources if it still does it you may have to send it in to get fixed is it new to you the detector?

good luck!!

It is 2 years old, looks like new. So yea, it's new to me. I know its still under warranty, but I'd rather not have to send it in. The guy told me he didn't have any issues with it and he did offer to give me my money back, the seller came highly recommended.

Not sure what noise your hearing but the Deus is a chatty machine and your unit is probably acting normal. Not real sure though.

 

[unearth]

Can or will the guy you bought it from help you out? He would be the first person to ask for help, in my opinion.

 

[Toolman0114]

The guy told me he would give me my money back if I'm not happy with it.

run 18khz if the emus are bad the lower kHz are great but they are chatty if there is emi about modern internet wi fi is the worst

No if you have exhausted all your options as in location (to rule out EMI) and settings....then reload the v.4 software. As I mentioned before, the initial release had issues and there were two silent updates. Eliminate your variables, if the preceding have been done above that means you need to exclude the possibility that it was a bad update that the previous owner installed.

I'm hoping I have time to reload V4 tonight, was hoping to do it last night but of course life sometimes gets in our way

Just to be on the safe side, if you haven't yet, take off your coil cover and clean out any dirt that may have accumulated between the coil and the cover. It can make a difference.

I had the same problem and after I took the coil cover off and cleaned it out the chatter stopped. Hope the problem you're having is that easy to fix.

 

[John (Australia)]

My feeling on that sound is that the sensitivity is too high for the location, but that is just my thoughts from afar.

Have you tried removing coil cover and cleaning the coil?
My $.02

 

[Toolman0114]
