[QUOTE="Jarrod84, post: 505194, member: 11190"] A couple of points that I constantly see coming up. The front panel mode switch general/deep etc does nothing to the detector except run a different set of pre sets. They are save slots for settings, "deep" is just the name for that slot and it has some pre sets that minelab say helps aim for deep mellow targets, once you change from the pre set settings it doesnt matter what mode you are in. High or low gain does not affect actual depth, the "R" in rx gain stands for recieve, you are turning up or down the signal that has already been recieved. It just allows how much of the signal you want to hear. If you are hearing too much, turn it down. The real thing that changes the way your detector penetrates into the ground is the timings, almost all the rest are just audio filters like the equalizer on a stereo on the returned signal. How this helps anyone who may be confused. [/QUOTE]
