did you test finder inside your house or out ferreting,i tested my finder inside when i got it first and there seemed to be alot of interference with receiver but when tested outside it worked perfect.atb hope this helps.

only tip I could give is replace the batteries,sounds like low voltage on the reciever

They some times do this when they get damp mate.Make sure you keep it in the house when not in use and out of the elements as much as possible when you are out in the field mate.

I've had a few behave like this over the years and touch wood I've always found that keeping them dry and giving them a warm on the air vent of the trucks heater before I start in the morning has always done the job for me fella.
