[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 394936, member: 3820"] If in doubt run factory settings and adjust the Stability up as much as you can to 'open' the machine. The other day I was running the standard 11" Commander mono in a Custom setting that was recommended, it became too unstable and picking up hot clay pockets every few meters even with the RX reduced to 6, persisted for 2.5 hrs but it got the better of me because it was getting too hard to pick repeatable signals. Went back to factory settings in General then raised the Stab. to 18 (opening up) and got the RX to 10 and it was the most stable I've run the 4500 so far, took 10 mins to locate the finest splinter of tin in the scoop and couldn't believe how much better the sensitivity and stability was. The only down side was that I discovered that in the last 20 mins of a 3 hr session before going back to work :( [/QUOTE]
