Just got my new Deteknix XPointer Diver Pinpointer today and went down to my local beach for a test run with my CTX3030. The pinpointer looks good and works well but I have found there is some interference when I swing the 11inch coil close to my side of my body . I have found the only way to eliminate the interference is to turn off the Pinpointer after I have used it. Would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and how they worked around it?
It seems that the CTX and other FBS machines do not play well with PI pointers, as has been reported by some XPointer owners. I had a problem with the Pistol Probe and the CTX getting along. It's not that the probe was interfering with the CTX, I always had it turned off when I wasn't using it, the problem was that the CTX was interfering with the operation of the PROBE. Drove the the P-probe crazy. I would try to get the CTX as far away from the hole as I could and it still didn't help. Noise canceling to the probe didn't seem to do a whole lot either; and frankly, I don't like to noise cancel to any particular source of EMI if I can otherwise eliminate it. And really, it's not good to detect with the pinpointer turned on. Definitely a source of EMI. Anyway, finally got a TRX. Problem solved.
