devilsrenegade Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I recently picked up a used SD 2100 on craigslist for next to nothing. When I power it on, the audio clips then settles down to a stable threshold . It also clips on a strong signal response. Is this normal ? Thank's to all who reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I am not sure what you mean by "clips". The SD2100 did make a weird noise on strong targets, but it has been so long since I ran one I am not sure we are referring to same thing. If it is detecting targets in tests its probably fine.

Thanks for the info hard to find videos of the SD 2100 in operation where you can hear the signal what I meant by Clips is the audio tone gets low then turns to a clicking as the coil approaches a large Target then goes back to normal as the coil is moved away. it detects Targets in air and ground testing. I picked it up late this summer and didn't get to play with it much. the guy I got it from said he had found some nuggets with it in Libby Montana. I guess it's probably okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't figure out how to attach the link, but if you search sd2100 audio signal you will find it. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nenad @ phase technical left a comment on my utube channel . He said the audio sounds normal for this detector. thanks to everyone for helping me on this.
