[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 410600, member: 3149"] Hi Rob, With a mono coil, if in the cancel position you will lose about 95% of your depth. Can be useful to pin-point a horseshoe or a tin can. Cancel really is intended for use with a DD coil. You lose maybe 20-30% depth, but gain a lot of stability. Hence, yes you can often increase Gain, turn up the Stabilizer, run a faster Motion setting etc etc. all of which gets a little performance back. You generally wouldn't switch timings when checking targets as it can become confusing with ground signals. On any iffy ones, just re-balance on the side of the target and it should sharpen up a little. If no change, scrape the ground a bit and re-check. If still not sure, dig a couple of inches off. That will then tell the story. Yep, as HH states, with a mono coil in the GT, you'd usually be in Enhanced. You can use Normal with big DD coils in most areas. Nenad [/QUOTE]
