    Hey - someone does read my posts!

    I didn't think of the ferite coil, I suppose that might be worth a shot too.

    Also, on the capacitor, if you can't find an exact match, you should still be able to get something close. Personally, I really wouldn't want to use an electrolytic capacitor, but a ceramic or metal film would work well. 100mfd with anything 20v or higher.

    Let us know how it goes!

    [quote="TexasRed"]What would happen if the coil wasn't within a foot of the detector?? [quote]

    The idea of the ferite coil is to capture and filter anything out of the lead before it reaches the detector, so the closer the better...

    Place unit in Voltage mode and if low, shorten the length of hardwire. Better yet plug it into the smartcord for the most accurate baseline reading. The voltage should be 13.6-13.8 when running.

    In regards to my previous post, that should have been a 470microfarad cap, not 100 as I originally said. Sorry. Hope you didn't buy one yet.
