Hi all.
I was wondering does anybody have problems with the explorer 2 when it comes to close to other detectors it goes wild as normal but mine does not seem to settle down for a few minutes sqwarking and chirping wildly even tried noise cancel does not have any effect. i have hip mounted the explorer i think by lenthening the the coil cable has made it more sensetive.any ideas. :(

Hi Ian

Hope youve recovered after yesterday i havnt  lol

You get that problem when you go near another detector on the same frequency it happends to me and byron all the time, we got like a mexican stand off thing going on I wont change my frequency lol

Being antisociel i dont go near many people anyway so its not a problem for me lol

Have a look in your manual Page 81 heading options Noise

Hope this helps all the best
Phil

Hi Ian,Yes I get the same problem with my explorer,noise cancel works some times,or moving away.If I have to stop in the area to chat I usually switch off for the peace and quiet.

ian i get the same prob m8, i agree with phil and al.............. ;D

the trouble i am having is after the two detectors move apart my detector still plays up for a while after like as if the system has oveloaded and takes a time to settle again. do you still have the same problem after the detectors move apart?.
ian.

the only time i get trouble with mine is if a garret user is within 30yds of me. my ex11 is unuseable no matter what i do. i can hear them getting closer without turning around.  mike

 ??? ian m8 once i walk away it settles and its fine then !!!!!!!!!!

I'm the same as Kev ,Ian.Once Ive moved away it settles down very quickly.
Al :)

thanks gents the trouble is mine carries on chirping & sqwarking like hell for a while after. I think it may be down to increasing the coil cable length which makes it a bit more tempremental back to the drawing board i gues perhaps i have got to suffer these types of problems to win on the weight savings. 
Ian.

this problem is not confined to the Explorer, it's the same when 2 minelab sovereigns are in close proximity. I've been told its because the minelabs are multifrequency machines, they "bounce off " each other. it's totally normal.

Gadget Ian even single frequency can be affected by airbourne interference   :(  but by way of design multi/frequency are wide open to this problem I,ve encountered it up in the hereford area on my soveriegn xs2a from a tetra mast it went haywire had to switch off in the end  also I recent problems with my quattro locally  :-[ ??? mole

That never happened to me yet with my Minelab. But then no one in my area can afford to buy a Minelab they all use cheep Bounty Hunters from WalMart! I guess I am lucky. Who knows, someday I may find something with my Safari besides nails and can tabs!. I am finding the Minelab to be a steep learning curve machine!

yankee have you tried minelabowners.com  or try www.mlotv.com (http://www.mlotv.com) send any questions or queries to gary brun. what he doesnt know about minelabs hasnt been written.
