Phoned everywhere trying to get hold of these linear power supplies - Only one I managed to get was the 5vdc. Swapped it over and powered up, reset all parameters to what they ran at before starting this and the signal very stable, unfortunately too stable, didn't even detect the metal test...
Thanks VE1BLL
That's more what I was looking for - Interference from the new power supplies causing the metal detector to be erratic. Metal detectors are so fussy, having 2 detectors in close proximity, using frequency inverters or motors to close to them all trigger false alarms. So is there...
Unit is over 15 years old, when testing there where no shorts etc that caused the supply to blow so just presumed it was component failure inside the power supply!
