detectors due to the overwhelming number of EMI sources. If 

you cannot minimize noise with the Frequency control, then 

turning down the Gain or Threshold is your best bet. Excessive 

chatter will easily mask targets, plus results in audio fatigue. It 

is better to trade off sensitivity for smooth audio so you can hear 

the targets.
