Whites MX5

Does anyone have some tips for keeping the MX5 more stable from e.m.i. and trashy ground?

Monte over at the AHRPS forum would be the "go to guy" for that specific model.

An article in W & E I was just reading said to turn the sensitivity down and something else but I don't remember what.

What T C said.

You are kind of battling 2 separate issues, but a smaller coil like the 5.3 eclipse or 4x6 shooter coil could help with both problems. Try lowering sensitivity 3-5 bars down from max. Be sure to ground balance when first starting out and you can re-ground balance by going to PP then right when you click back into disc mode, bob the coil up and down. In very trashy, iron laden areas I have actually jacked the disc up to just below where nickels drop out and use single tone It actually works very well if you get tired of hearing the "busy" 8 tones in trashy spots. In areas of heavy iron trash the 2 tone mode works very well at unmasking good targets. I usually run zero disc or just -95 blocked out.
