2 Compadres dont get along

My wife and I headed up to a school today with my newest Compadre and the one my wife uses.
These machines get along like 2 teenagers on a long car ride. Bicker and fight the whole time. If either of these got within 15ft of each other it would start.
I thought about using one at a club hunt but if there are others nearby it would be a huge waste.

I have used mine at every organized club hunt for a couple of years.
Nobody else ever uses one at these hunts except me, and I have no issues with any other detectors.
 
Well that's good to know. I have no issues with my Minelab and my wife's Compadre. When I used to do quite a few hunts I always took a really cheap Compass. That thing was a killer on planted coins and tokens and never cross-talked with others.
Thanks Revier.
 
I've run into cross talk at club hunts with other detectors. Most often it's when someone else with the identical detector is too close, but not always. I guess some units have just enough variation in the frequency that some cause it and some don't. Usually moving a few yards takes care of it.

yeah i found this out as well, same frequency so they cause interference when in close proximity
 
We had to get at least 15ft away. It made it hard as I was trying to teach my wife how to use a screwdriver for retrieval and I wanted to check out the new detector.
 
That's where the freq switch toggle on some of the tesoros pays off having. Some of the sponsored beach hunts Ive gone to in the past gave me problems but that toggle took care of it.
 
and they don't get along with the pro pointer ,

Some do, some don't.
Mine seem to play well together, but others not so much.
 
Any two models of the same unit does this (any brand), or they have for me.
