Got this from another forum member. Something to try when hunting under power lines.
For the powerlines hunt I used the "frequency offset" mode on the VX3 and tried each offset setting until the machine ran quiet and stable. I was in Hi Pro mode for that hunt. It's a very convenient feature, and I was amazed I was able to detect so close to the hi voltage lines without interference! Mark used his MXT Pro and ran it in saltwater mode, which also worked very well.
