Frequency
This control makes small adjust-
ments to the transmitter pulse rate. This
is used to counteract any interference
which might be due to outside electro-
magnetic sources, such as radio sta-
tions, microwave, short wave, electric
fences, power lines, lightening, electri-
cal storms, or other metal detectors being used nearby. This
interference is recognized by a warbling or repetitive pulsing of
the audio threshold, and can mask target signals.
If you are experiencing interference, adjust the
Frequency
control for minimal chatter. Adjustments should be done in
small steps, with a few seconds between each adjustment to see
if the TDI settles down. If you cannot deal with interference
with the Frequency control, then reduce the
Gain
and/or
Thresh-
old
settings to obtain a reasonably stable operating point.
