[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 359196, member: 6786"] Your doing very well mate and your settings look pretty good. I run in Tracking: Slow, but if you're in Fixed GB, then it doesn't matter. I try to keep Tuning between 90 and 110 (I hear it's optimised there), but you can go +/-10 on these if you must. I also run Audio: Quiet, but many (viz: old hand - a very experienced operator) would rather run Audio: Normal and turn down the RX Gain and Stabiliser by 3 or 4 points. I also run Motion: Slow. Very Slow means it thinks you're very slowly searching a small area. The manual also tells you to keep the Stabiliser one or two points below the RX Gain, so that's what I do (I go with the designer), but others disagree. In hot ground, you may want to drop back from Fine Gold to Enhanced timings (simple front panel switch-over), as that's what most of us with the 4500s have to do in hot ground (we don't have Fine Gold)- see the pic below. That way you can go back to Fine Gold with a simple flick of a switch to revert to those settings. Otherwise, I reckon that you're bang on - at least for the Vic GT.
