[QUOTE="MYSPOT, post: 21263, member: 797"] Hello, As this machine is not much different than my 5000, if you are starting out I would say to use 8" mono and all factory preset. I would run the machine in tracking and in special mode (front panel), why 8" mono? think of it as an antenna and the bigger the antenna the more signal ( noise ) it will pull in. Go the 8" and the gain around 10 or 12 you should be able to run the machine at that and if it is running smooth then try the 14" but you might have to back off the gain. Try starting with gain at 14 or 15 with 8" and back it off if needed and dont forget to [b]auto tune[/b]. Keep your stabilizer no more than 4 or 5 lower the your gain. And remember its not a race, [b]go low and slow[/b]. No point in zooming through a patch only to miss half of the targets. I am planning to go to Talbot this weekend if you will be about. hope this helps cheers [/QUOTE]
