GPX 5K & Coiltek 14X9 Blitz Noise


Recommended Posts

The last two times out I found that my Coiltek Blitz produced noise when the cable was touched or when the coil touched anything like a branch. Because of all of the junk at the last location I changed to my 11" Minelab DD and it did not have the same problem. I read that this could be due to not having the cable connector tight enough so I had it pretty snug. Any thoughts?

Hello Dqsantos,

It's not normal for a coil to "false," especially the Blitz 14x9. Some of the older coils would false after they have been beaten around enough, so falsing when a coil gets older is not uncommon. However, new coils shouldn't just false when bumped, unless really bumped hard. Touching the coil wire can cause falsing, so its best to make sure the coil wire is secure around the shaft, not really loose and you secure it tightly at the connection (finger tight).
