[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 178142, member: 4485"] 1. The GPX Quick Start guide is for tracking not fixed I think - it says to start in fixed & change to tracking while pumping the coil up/down. Continue pumping the coil until threshold is stable. In tracking you still need to check balance periodically by pumping the coil - if it has become unstable then you push & release the quick track button while in tracking it will beep & initiates a fast auto ground balance then returns to tracking. 2. That process is for fixed. When in fixed press and hold the quick track button while pumping the coil to ground balance. Most would recommend using fixed.
