Simplix And Interferance???
- Thread starter mickfin
- Start date
'Interferences is EMI and in my den at home to test detectors, all of them experience EMI, and several are more annoyed than the Simplex +.
Out detecting here in town at parks and schools and the like, my Simplex + is handling things quit well and is as calm and stable as most of my detectors are, and I operate almost every one of that at near max to full Sensitivity. A couple of others get a bit noisier close to power lines and such.
As for using Pinpointers and 'interference,' I'm not having any problems there, either. I set the detector down so it's not too close to the recovery spot or my Pinpointer, and have the coil positioned away from me and the Pinpointer. I evaluated a half-dozen Pinpointers recently and the Makro pointer I've been using for 5 years come the 8th of January works fine and no issues with EMI. And my new back-up Nokta / Makro Pulse-Dive Pinpointer is also working great and I have no EMI problems with it, either.
The only thing causing 'interference' with me using my Simplex + is the very cold weather and periodic snow on the ground. There's no adjustment of updateable fix for that.

• I live in Vale, in far eastern Oregon which is on the high desert plateau about 18 miles from Idaho and the saltwater beach is on the far west side of Oregon.
• I've been getting around with a cane since March of '93, and with the added years and declining health my mobility isn't great ... and canes don't work well, either, in loose beach sand.
However, I do appreciate your helpful hint and I'm glad you have some access to hunt during the wintry months. It's not terrible here right now. We had a ±10" snowfall on December 1st, but in a week or so it was almost all gone, but it's been windy and/or cold and not very pleasant to get out hunting. I did on three days, briefly, but the forecast for the coming week and through January is to be colder and get more snow. When I used to live in the Portland Oregon metro area it rained too much ... but when the rain stopped you could usually get in some detecting time. And I did, when healthier, make some beach visits as it was a shorter drive and a change-of-pace.
If you work them, stay warm and enjoy success.
