Jeff,
I am not trying to argue with you but you need to go back and reread my original post. It was asking about how the Deus II did with EMI for competition hunting. Maybe you don’t do as many of these types of hunts as I do.
I have done a lot of competition hunts and club fun hunts using my Deus. I cannot hunt next to a NOX not matter how I adjust my Deus. It tears it up so bad all I can hear is interference from the NOX. BTW, if my terms are confusing it comes from being a ham radio operator so don’t take them literally. When I used the term dead I would have thought it was clear but apparently not. I should have said deaf.
no one at this point may be able to answer my question without testing it. With my Deus I can hear the interference and walk away from the person with the NOX.
if, with the Deus II, I am in a hunt and my receiver in the Deus II just goes silent that is a problem. I would not know that a NOX or any other detector had overloaded or interfered with me so I could get away from them. I am making sense now?
The interference on my Deus I is so bad when close to a NOX I cannot even hear surface targets. No other detector in the hunts I have been to cause the Deus so much racket. Racket, in this usuage, means lots of tones in the headphones.
When I saw Kevin’s video I became concerned about how I would know I was having an issue, in a competition hunt, if I just don’t hear anything. You say he just lost depth. I don’t know how you determined that? But if that is the case and it will still detect surface finds then I can live with that. Most competition hunts today just throw the coins out in the grass. It’s all about speedy recovery. The Deus excels because of its fast recovery speed.
so hopefully this is clearer in what I am wanting to know. If not, I give up and will see if Kevin can put a test together. He has already proven the NOX, in certain instances, cause the Deus II to go “deaf”. My question is when it goes somewhat “deaf” will it still “hear” surface targets.
thanks for your comments.
