Question for those that have been trained, about other machine interference

If this has been discussed, I have missed it.

As far as interference with another machine (in particular another 3030, Explorer, or E-trac), will it be comparable to what exists now between those machines. I know the noise cancel will help with that, but I have found with my E-Trac, that if I have a 5" or 8" coil on and my hunting partner using his 10" factory coil, we can hunt right next to each other. If I have a larger coil on, even using the noise cancel, we have to stay a ways apart for the machines to cooperate. When hunting rows in a farm field hunting as close together helps to eliminate missed strips.
 
I used several different detectors (by multiple manufacturers) when testing the CTX 3030. Although on many occasions I would have more than one detector running at the same time, I made an effort to not have one coil close (within 6 - 8 feet) from the others. As such, I did not experience X-talk or chatter within the CTX 3030. I think a good portion of that might be attributed to smart coil technology on the CTX 3030. The only time I found the CTX 3030 would chatter is when I would lay it down right next to the hole, and run my Garrett ProPointer around it. By moving the detector away from the hole, I would eliminate the inferference. HH Randy
 
Thanks for the answer..That sounds about the same distance as I've experienced with the present machines...
