Set the ddcoil

[Marcello]

How to set the ddcoil?
I have built a ddcoil for the tesoro eldorado.
To set I overlap it the two coils tx and rx so that to have the min signal, but if then I put in parallel a capacitor, the amplitude increases, etc.....
Does someone know how to set it so that to have the max sensibility?

thanks

Re: Set the ddcoil

You probably want to resonate the receive coil to the exact transmit frequency before you set the overlap, to maximize the signal level during the process.

Also I think that it needs to do so, but I have a doubt.
with my eldorado if I put a capacitor from 10nF in parallel to the search head original tesoro, has the max signal, but the performances are the same!
The stadium of entry of the eldorado perhaps needs a certain value of the wave well precise rx....
I will make other tests.
