    • Yes - small to medium levels but I put up with it as I don't want to 'dumb down' the detector.

  2. 2. If EMI has been giving you troubles on the GPX6000.

    • The EMI is worse when using the in-built speaker.

    • The EMI is the same regardless of which audio option I use.
      2
    • It is better at Manual Sensitivity of 1 but I feel I am losing detecting performance by having to do this.

    • At the exact same location the EMI handling is better using the 14" coil in EMI Cancel mode.

Don't anyone get me wrong.  I'm really enjoying the machine.  I see it as sharing ideas with a community of excited users.  I continue to pause for less than a minute when planes fly overhead.  So far, I'm fine with doing that.  Also, this weekend, I did notice what JP previously mentioned.  Keeping the coil flat seems to be an important factor.  Detecting some benches at 45 degrees caused the EMI to kick up until the 11" coil was leveled, again.
