My apologies to those who are up and running and may not appreciate how hard it is for us waiting to participate to sit on our hands.
The kit I should be getting will be a new, red, kit.
Can those with these tell me if this interferance issue is something that is auto clearing? That is, lets say my old maple gets zapped by a bolt and the Red says, too close, I'm shutting down. Does the detector wait a few minutes, then clear itself and start sniffing again? Or, does the local operator have to trudge out to push the reset button? If it is auto correcting, how long does it take itself off line?
I'm about to hit Menards to get the foam board and dig through the junk boxes to get the wire needed, ans so on, this weekend. Got to do something other than sit on my hands waiting for the kit. I assume good old wire works well, like stripped phone wire or some other stuff, if I have it? And eight turns sounds a lot better than 54 turns if I can do the reduced number. If one makes a reduced number of turns will this affect the inductance figures, and also depending upon the gauge of the wire, affect the resistance so as to alter the resonance? I'd rather ask and seem dumb rather than have to redo the project because I was afraid to ask about something I'm not up to speed on. So thanks for any advice. Dale
