I just bought a new Whites V3I with wireless head phones and I have a fairly new Garrett Pinpointer Pro. First off I have to say *I love this new V3I*. What a machine!!! How to the problem at hand. I also like this Garrett Pinpointer Pro, It's heavy duty and works great. Until now!! The way the Garrett works is you push the button switch once and the unit beeps twice and you're good to go. If you turn on the Garrett while the Whites is on you can hear interference big time in the head phones. You may have to try and turn the Garrett on many many times before it will beep twice and work. You may have to push the button on/off seven or more times in order to get the Garrett to work. Then again there may be times when it will work properly on the first try. I have called Garrett and they told me how to reset the Garrett~but that didn't work. It still will not start up properly. I do not like having to push the button sometimes as much as 7 times before it will work and that is un-nerving when you find a target and want to dig it. Now the whites dealer who also sold me the Garrett tied a new Garrett out of the box with a new V3i and it does the same thing!!! They just don't want to work with each other. Has anyone had this problem? What is causing this problem? Does anyone know how to fix the problem. I wish Whites would make a pinpointer has heavy duty and good as this Garrett (when it is not interfering). I have tied the Whites bullseye and it just doesn't stand up to the quality. If this Garrett will not work properly with the V3I, I'm looking into a Pistol Pro. Anyone use this probe with a V3I. Thanks for any help. Ted
