CZ's intereferring...

I find I need to stay a good distance away from many detectors. Pulse Induction detectors talk to the CZ as do the Minelab BBS and FBS detectors. Also had a guy with a Whites that I couldn't get within about 30 feet without loud chatter but did not determine what model he had.
How do you run the sensitivity? If not running it real hot you may get pretty close and not get hit hard. If you can hear chatter when you get close to your buddy's detector, move away a little and you will be fine. If you are checking each others targets, you may need to give each other a little more space when doing target checks. I don't think it will be a huge deal unless you are used to hunting right next to each other all the time. Just be aware that detectors can interfere with each other.
I think I remember reading Tom D stating even if you cannot hear the cross talk/chatter between 2 CZ's, there is still some 'invisible interference' that will detrimentally affect the performance.
Not sure the real safe distance, but I think it's around 100 feet.
So if there is another CZ user near by, even if your unit seems to be running fine in terms of no chatter, there still may be some performance loss.

Therover is right with invisible interference..hunting a local park my CZ seemed to be having trouble...as I moved across a football field I saw in the distance another CZ user.
so if you are not having apparent noisy interference your CZ is being interfered with another CZ perhaps more then 100 feet...

We literally back off till until we hear no cross talk; and sensitivity setting (receiver) does have an affect on the distance too. Its not just CZ's, as its happened with units all the way back to the 1970's.
(Was at the beach once using a non motion PI with a 2ft loop; I point it down the beach and folks almost 75 yds away would stop and retune their units.)
