I have seen a few conversations about the sdc and its sometimes erratic behavior and I thought a general pool of experiences might help diagnose a sick detector from the average flutters of unexplainable chirps, and also I was wondering if anybody's sdc runs consistently flat line quite ?
Now I have diffidently tried and retried channel searching and ground balancing with the book method plus at least 3 suggested methods with little improvements , some days I can get a full day with out to much falsing or going bonkers.
but some days after about an hour it can get noisy or even go full bonkers . I have learnt to work with it and it diffidently has built my skill level up and I can still be confident using it and get the gold.
Some days I can lay it down while I dig and it is silent , then the next thing it goes off its rocker for no apparent reason.
The general chatter it gets most days is costly for time, having to re swing every chirp only to find its nothing , some days I can pick a false chirp from a target some days not.
Most days I can blame the wind or the change as the sun crosses the ground or as the day changes and its usually about then it starts becoming a handful but occasionally there's no apparent reason.
don't get me wrong I still love the sdc and as with any good relationship comes headaches :lol:
anyway I hope all sdc owners that read this will add there experiences to this thread .
