  • On one hand I can`t remember what exact wire diameter I have used for all of my admiral - and related to it clonings back in time. On the other hand - I only pay attention the wire for each search head`s coil to be: for Tx - 0,38-0,45 (the current is not serious), and for Rx - 0,25-0,28 (to be comfortable for soldering to the cable....). I realize that it is of a grat importance regarding the coil parameters, that have significant impact, such as wire diameter, the the amount of copper and the conductivity of the wire, the quality and number of insulating layers of the wire, the degree of tightness of the coil after winding, that result in inductance and Q value of the coils. One need to pay attention on that when make the search coil. But I`ve made the coils with a wire, taken from either transphormators, or from degaussing coils of TVs/monitors and the results were good (the older is the scrap - the better is the wire quality ). Not to forget the cable quality to be taken under consideration, as well as not to hurry when the blank/shell with the coils is poured with resin - it need to be done patiently, graduatelly, constantly controlling the signals on TP1 and TP2 (to keep the right signal amplitude/keeping the ballance, not allowing the oscillogrames to go into saturation.). Something like that - very practical and non-scientific advice...

    • ... I have to admit that you guys caught me in a very strange but still good mood in that new year, so to be so active here, and to be inclined to share my humble experience, related to what I have accumulated as practical knowledge until now, related to VLF-portion of that hobby???
      Rely on the same attitude from your end, if someone achieve the better results than mine... Deal?

      • And, as an additional comment:
        This MD works in the same way with Tx coil wound 45 turns - in that case the capacitor in paralel need to be 330nF to keep the same frequency.
        Rx coil will also work pretty well with less turns - 125-130 windings. In that case maybe the coil will be less noisy, and less senzitive toward the soil? The only component that need to be adjusted is the capacitor 47 nF (in parralel of 15k resistor, connected to the Rx coil), so the point of the ground ballance potentiometer to be in the middle of the pot range (between 33nf and 68nf).

              where put it it's not clear

                    hi gesta i build new PCB little good things and a lot bad things it's PCB number 5
                    my problem is that GEB not working at all can't disc ferrite any help

                    • shield of the white cable is not connected with the ground.

                          where you want me to check the schematic ?

                          • you build detector without schematic ?

                              You need to adjust the phase of reference signal applied to phase detector, it has to be 90 deg shifted compared to Rx signal.

                                Thanks for your help pito
                                unfortunately I am a beginner can you explain with Illustrative images
                                by the way my osciliscop is only one channel
