[QUOTE="condor22, post: 83059, member: 1932"] Although it took a little time, I got a response from Minelab re interference. My question to them was "When using my GPX5000, putting it aside and switching on my Profind Pinpointer, the 5000 screams with interference. To prevent this, I pull the speaker jack from the battery, which stops the audio output. However, I would assume the detector circuitry is still receiving the interference, WILL THIS HAVE ANY ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE DETECTOR. Their response "No it will have no adverse effect, also try to use the frequency tuning, it may eliminate or reduce the interference" So, I think I will just continue to do as I have been doing on the odd occasions I use the pinpointer - pull the audio jack. That is until I can get to Jaycar, buy a small 2 way toggle switch and modify the speaker. Much like Jonathon Porter appears to have done in his DVDs. [/QUOTE]
