Does Simplex Still Have Pinpointer Interference?


Recommended Posts

I've seen videos of the Simplex and some pinpointers interfering with each other. Is this still a problem? I didn't assume a software update could fix this because 12khz is really close to most pinpointers. I own a Garrett carrot that I use with the Nox and a XP MI-6 with the Deus. I didn't want to buy the Simplex and then have to buy a new pinpointer also because of the interference.

I have similar issue with my ML Pro-find 35 and my Kruzer when I switch to 14kzh. If the Simplex can use the green headphones then their pulse dive should work with hit I believe.

Whites Bullseye II that sells in the $50 range plays nice with all my detectors. It runs at 35kzh In some cases I think it's more sensitive to small stuff than the ML pointer but lacks a little bit of range.

I tried a few different pin-pointers to see how close I could get them to the Simplex. 

Pro-Find 25 - needed to be over 1m away from Simplex coil

Xpointer - 55cm

Xpointer Pro - 50cm

Pro-Find 35 - 25cm

Nokta PulseDive - using the PulseDives frequency shift, I could get it as close as 30cm! 

The only Garrett I have here is a dead carrot, so can't try it.

Why do they use such a low frequency on the pin pointers in general. Whites was on to something when they made the bullseye 2 that runs at 35khz.

Does the PI pointers interfere?

See my post above. The Xpointers and PulseDive are both PI.

Just tried my Deus in 17khz and the Garrett carrot drove it nuts. I've only used the MI-6 with it until today. Changing to 11khz almost eliminated it. Wonder what the MI-6 would do with the Simplex?
