[QUOTE="Jarrod84, post: 512488, member: 11190"] The rx GAIN amplifies the return signal, so basically it turns up what you can hear, the good and bad noises. The stabilizer smooths out the signal, so if it seems a bit jittery you can turn it down (turning that stab down actually increases its effect on smoothing). Smoothing the signal out makes it better to listen to but it also smoothes out the small signals and gives you less feedback. It's basically a balancing act with more than one way to do it, you want the most amount of noise you can handle from the detector. You could run high gain then really low stab to keep it smooth, or low gain with very little stab and this will also work as you dont have a lot of gain but then you're not filtering out much with the stabilizer either. Mine seem to end up with both on about the same numbers as this is the easiest and makes sense to keep it simple. Chuck some lead in a hole and try the high gain/low stab vs low gain/high stab then, there are many different ways to achieve the same result, so none of them are wrong. [/QUOTE]
