Hey Bill or Tony, I have noticed with my second Coinstrike..........

[mtdoramike]

that in a couple of spots that I hunt the display will start going nuts, numbers changing rapidly and being very unstable. I notice this in my back yard quite a bit, there are electric lines running by the yard. I'm assuming this is RF interference, but my first C$ didn't seem to have a problem in my back yard around my test garden. What do you guys think??

just more RF interference at different times. Like maybe the RF is worse there now since when you had your other one? Just a guess, as I've noticed sometimes I can hunt certain area's fine when other times I had to turn sensitivity way down. There was no changes made to the C$ that I know of, but maybe you got a real sensitive one, or your other was less powerful?

There are some place that I have hunted that there would be no RF one day and the next day or the next hour it would go nuts. If my sens is cranked up, sometimes a pinpointer will cross talk to it too. I guess the good news is that you won't be hunting in your back yard a lot! Also if you have a coil cover on, there may be something like black sand affecting it. Try turning it off and disconnect the coil cable. (Kinda like rebooting your PC). I know it's nerve racking, but experiment with it and see if you can come up with the optimum settings. Remember, the C$ will go deep with the sens on 0-1. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes.

Here in my back yard and some places i hunt, sometimes interference, sometimes not, in my yard i think it's when certain appliances kick on, ie/ water heater, freezer, or something like that, gonna try to figure it out one o these days

Hi,
sounds like the typical behaviour around RF. I can't hunt about half of Nashville due to this. You just have to have a backup high frequency machine for those times.

Underground cables and gas lines are also a problem.

Crazy one I ran into was a Sunday transmission of the sermon over short haul KU band microwave. And a common one in town is a Ham operator.

when it happened in my back yard with the new C$ versus my old one. It does mellow out a little when I drop the sensitivity to like 2 and raise the threshold up to like 40.
