nokta impact noise

Maybe a high EMI area.
A few things to try Lloyd:
1) see if it is the same level of chatter in various locations, or confined to certain specific areas, that would point to an EMI source, hold coil in air and turn about to see if it increases the noise level, this can roughly lead you to the source of the EMI
2) If you are in Di2 it is a "noisy, sparky" mode, try Di3 and VLX1 and see if this changes anything (Note; the Impact always defaults to Di2 on start up so you have to manually change mode)
3) Try changing from default 14 KHz to either or both 5KHz and 20KHz and see if the different operating frequencies change the level of noise
4) you can also shift each frequency slightly if it is an interference problem
Let us know if any of these help mitigate the issue.
Cheers,
Drew.

I know what you mean my Nokta relic is like that (caused me to just about sell it the other day) but I will give it more time. I have hunted with the Fisher CZ detectors most of my detecting days and they are just so quite till you hit a target then they ring out, spoiled me. I'm not knocking the Fors Relic it's good in iron and it's deep just chatty as hell.
