They don't get along!
The interference of their Nokta pinpointer, when in use with the Simplex+,
is very ANNOYING...!
Sure, I can turn off the sound on my machine, but I'd love it if they
wouldn't compete for attention....!
I wrote to Nokta Makro and told them my problem, and hoped that
they would fix that on their next update....!
We shall see!

I had that issue with mine, with 3 different pinpointers. That was one of the things I didn't like about the Simplex. I don't remember having that much noise on the Multi Kruzer I had. I haven't been able to use their PulseDive as a pointer with any machine I have without it really getting noisy. That includes the CTX3030. Hope someone here can give you some ideas how to make them get along a bit better. I ended up giving up and just selling my Simplex. Shame, it was a good machine other than not liking pointers.

I wasn't sure what Nokta Pointer you have, but, if it's the PulseDive this could be handy to you or others:

FREQUENCY SHIFT
It is used to prevent the device from interfering with other detectors nearby.
To shift the frequency, press the on-off button while holding the (F) button pressed down. Each time you press the on-off button, a beep will be heard and/or the device will vibrate and the frequency will shift 1 step. There are 40 steps in frequency shift. The central frequency, which is the factory default, is indicated by double beeps / vibrations.

Whoa!
Thanks!
I will try that out!
I was hoping that NOkta will address that in next update.

The Pulse Dive is physically unfriendly for me - I tried! Besides, NOkta Pointer is quite powerful, so the sensitivity is understandable between the two

Great post here! The Nokta Pulse Dive Pointer is a great combo if you have a Nokta Simplex! https://bigboyshobbies.net/nokta-makro-pulsedive-pinpointer

Thanks for the comments.
True, the Nokta Pointer doesn't "pair" with the Simplex+
but, they are BOTH of the same parentage, so you'd think....!
Anyway, I'm still using them, even tho they really interfere with
the performance/efficiency some....
Besides, I'm hoping to use them underwater next summer...!
THEN, I'll see if they are more cool with each other....! :laughing7:

Mine is the Nokta Pointer, with the orange coils covers and buttons on the end.
And, at 18.2 kHz, it is a HOT pointer..., no wonder my Simplex can't find the right Frequency,
to NOT interfere with each other...!!
