[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 313615, member: 3149"] 2200 had a powerful transmitter, so monos were are handfull in all but the quietest soils. The tracking speed was nice and on the slow side. When the GP's came out DVT helped the ground balance in hotter soils, but the tracking was sped up, as being more sensitive to smaller targets meant they were also more sensitive to ground changes. So monos would run a lot better on the extreme and 3000 but the problem now was the potential of tracking out borderline signals. DD coils running in mono was the best compromise if ground allowed. Yes, a ground balance switch on the handle is the best mod for an extreme or 3000, and very easy to do, but unfortunately no way of actually reducing the tracking speed. But if you are sticking to DDs (in most hot ground you will have to) then it isn't an issue. I think a GP with 8" DD, 11" Mono or 12x7" or 14x9"Advantage mono, and a 15" DD would still be a very capable combo. It won't ping SDC gold, but it'll get the chunkier stuff no probs at all. [/QUOTE]
