[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 289707, member: 487"] Well no a 17" coil is not more sensitive, it's most likely a bit less sensitive but a bigger coil is like a bigger aerial, so it was probably picking up EMI from much further away than you would think. Sometimes with big coils you need to drop your sensitivity down a bit for this very reason. On really bad EMI days a small coil will run smoother than a larger coil on a PI. It's still not going to have problems with an SDC being nearby unless you are right next to each other, it will then be the SDC that suffers. [/QUOTE]
