[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 584900, member: 4485"] To tell if it's faulty or not you really need to compare it with another one. A lot of basic detector amplifiers can have a background hum - I wouldn't say it's a high pitched tone though, that does sound like an issue with it somewhere. Most people who use them are used to the "hum" or use detector settings to minimise it so it doesn't bother them. It's more apparent with headphones & have read that the B&Z volume needs to be above about ~2 to reduce it. Not sure you can do much in regards to detector settings with the SD2100 - maybe try a lower threshold & bit higher B&Z volume? With the GP3500 you can lower both volume & signal then use a bit higher B&Z volume until you find settings that minimise it to a usable level. [/QUOTE]
