4K Silver Program

Some sort of software mute would be nice to eliminate chatter from any source. :-)

Another 4 K Deus Haul! Nothing but clad from the local park! But if beats a stick in the eye!

I set my Deus down with the control box off to the side of the target I'm digging. The coil is straight out in front of me so it's about 30-36 inches from my Propointer when I use it.
I get 0 interference. Have even set the PP in front of the target dig about 1-1/2 ft from the coil. Still nothing. I do get just a little fussiness from the PP in 8Khz but it's nominal.
Oh, my sensitivity is 92. Disc is 5 in both 4Khz and 8Khz. I go back and forth to verify crown caps so I have them set the same.

Do my girlfriend and I own the only two Deus's that don't like the PP in 4 kHz? I know that I'm not imagining this, but I can't help but wonder if there's some other cause, particularly when no one else is having this problem. We don't even have the same sized coils. Is it a regional thing? On the same note, it ought to absolutely hate the PP on 12 kHz (the PP's freq) but it doesn't. Do you blame me for being confused by this?

As for the mute, I'll bet that there's a mute option in the menu somewhere...but I'll also bet that if I turn the sound off, I'll forget to turn it back on again. Particularly if it's not on one of the option trees that I normally use.

You are definitely not the only one with major interference in 4K caused by the PP. So far, 4K is the only affected freq since I've been using the Deus. I just try to remember to set the Deus down with the coil as far away as I can.

Some of my sites are chatty and when I set the detector down with the coil not flat on the ground, I get even more chatter. That and PP crosstalk are why I'd like a mute button :-)

Mine get's a little "chatty" when I set the machine down with the coil upright. But it will pick up the PP in 4 kHz,unless I have the coil positioned 90 degrees away from the hole,at arms length. It doesn't do it in any other frequency though?

It certainly does not in 8 and 12 kHz. I don't use 18 kHz enough to comment on it. 4 kHz seems to be the bad one and for the life of me, I can't understand why. Harmonic frequencies, maybe?

Mine makes a little noise with an upright coil, but not enough to bother me. The ground usually sounds worse than that around here.

When I put the Deus down, it's not 90 degrees away, but more like 140 or so. After I pinpoint the target, I pull out the PP and turn it on as I place it on the target, then twist my trunk to place the Deus behind/beside me with the coil facing away. It's when I'm distracted and set the Deus down with the coil within a few feet from me (orientation doesn't seem to matter) that it picks up the PP. In 8 or 12, I can set the Deus down basically wherever I want, just so long as the coil is not close enough to the PP to actually be detected by it. (In that case, it drives the PP nuts, not the other way around, but that's to be expected.)

I imagine your situation is a bit worse if you're running sens higher--think I remember you posting that you don't run it under 85. I notice too, that if there's even the slightest amount of EMI, the crosstalk is worse. I haven't tried offsetting the 4K freq a tad to see if that helps, but it's worth a shot.

care to share ur settings?

I was having trouble with my pro pointer cross talking with my deus also.I have the RS pointer from nokta and dont seem to have that prob.I need to try the 4 khz again to make sure thats not my normal freq.

You can always offset 4 khz by just a bit. Often it makes a huge improvement.

Thats a great point!Especially for us new to the Deus guys.I wouldnt have thought of that.Thanks Bud.That info should be on the front page of something to be honest,I bet this is an issue more often than we think. HH Jim T
