I found and replied to an older post from 2012 that addressed this issue...
It is a peeve of mine over the years...
In my early years I could never figure out why the sens knob numbers on detectors go way higher than could ever be set without probs...
So...
After tearing apart many a coil and fooling around with wirings over the years...
I came to a great realization...
Coil wire is the "enemy" of sensitivity.
Below is a diagram showing IMO typical coil winding "suggestion" for a detector setup...
IMO This is wrong and comes at a sensitivity "cost"...
The picture shows IMO correct and best winding of coil wire...
Hope this helps any and all of you to "crank up the sens"
P.S>
I borrowed these from an older thread... Link to the older Tnet thread with user comments will be below the diagram and picture used from thread.
Diagram from manufacturer showing typical incorrect winding...
Picture showing correct way if you want more sens... And sens is goooood stuff
