I haven't used it in a while and had the 8" Mono on it, but decided to try the larger coil.
A little before noon EST I turned on the machine with freshly charged batteries.
Frequency Test and set with machine in lock----------------------------OK!
Threshold set to barely audible tone-----------------------------------------OK!
Descrimination on -0---------------------------------------------------------------OK!
Adjust to fast for ground ballance in water (quieted right down)---OK!
Adjust to slow for ground ballance in water (Quieted Down)--------OK!
So far so good!
Passed the coil by my stainless scoop-----(What the h---????????) NO RESPONSE!!!![Shrug :shrug: :shrug:](https://www.findmall.com/styles/smileys/shrug.gif)
Tweeked the discrimination knob all the way to around 4 before I got any response and the and from there all the way through Iron Test position I got a response when I passed the scoop, but also got a lot of noisy chatter and sensitivity to wave action!!![Thumb Down :thumbdown: :thumbdown:](https://www.findmall.com/styles/smileys/thumbdown.gif)
I tried everything I know to get things working right, but nothing changed.
When I can find the energy and time I shall re-install the 8"Mono and see if the LS works as it should and if so the new coil must be the culprit, if not then the LS must need repair.
I'll post the results when I have something for you.
Wish me luck!!
