I think I have a bad Super 12 coil.

[Dan(NM)]

I just got a Super 12 coil and put it on the MXT Pro, turned the gain to the preset position and got an overload signal. I backed it off until the overload stopped at 9, the chatter was crazy all the way down to a gain setting off 3. At that setting, I could only get an air test on my ring from about 5", on the 9.5 coil, I could run the gain wide open in the exact same place I tried using the Super 12. I thought maybe it was emi because I was in town. On my way home I stopped twice to test the coil way from power lines, it did the exact same thing. I bought the coil used, I was going to take the cover off, but it's been siliconed on. I didn't want to make a mess of the coil before I have a chance to talk to the dealer. My thought is, I've got a bad coil. What's your thoughts?

I got one used, over loads and registers -90 with constant chatter and won't GB totally unusable. If I twist it sometime it will quiet down.. but does not stay.. This was thrown in with a DFX and was not part of the advertised deal so I did not care but it is of no use as it is.
