    Shot Cuts

    How to quickly collapse menus V3's expert menus can be rather deep in places. If you've drilled down several levels deep and want to quickly collapse the cascaded menus, then simply press/hold Menu and press the Left arrow key. Backed out too far? Press/hold Menu and press the Right arrow key...

    How to lock Pinpoint mode Suppose you have a Sunray probe and you want to put V3 in pinpoint mode while you are digging and pinpointing. With other White's detectors, you could flip the trigger switch forward to lock the pinpoint mode. V3 can be programmed to do that, but you then lose the...

    How to quickly ground balance Most people know this one, but I'm including it to clarify the next short-cut. To quickly ground balance: Pull/hold the trigger, then press/hold ENTER Bob the loop a few times over the ground until the threshold sound is pretty constant Release ENTER, then...

    Shot Cuts

    How to quickly jump through ranges Some settings have a large range of values. Ferinstance, "Ground Track Offset" is +/- 100. If you want to change this offset, you can press the Up/Down arrow key (in the Live Control menu*) and patiently wait until the offset reaches the number you want. And...

    How to fast-set discrimination masks There are 191 VDIs, each one can be individually accepted or rejected in discrimination mode. You may want to set up a custom disc. mask, perhaps to cherry pick a specific conductance range. Ferinstance, let's say you want to reject iron up to VDI = -6, then...

    How to fast-set tones There are 191 VDIs, each can be assigned a tone. The 'standard' tone setup is to start with tone 65 at VDI=-95 and increment the tone with each VDI up to tone 255 at VDI=+95. You may want to set up custom tone IDs, perhaps to assign an entire region a single tone...

    Shot Cuts

    As you get deeper into the customizing capabilities of V3, you might find some of the settings (like custom tone IDs) to be rather tedious. You may wonder, "Isn't there an easier way to change these settings?" Usually, the answer is 'yes', there are numerous shortcuts built in. This thread will...

    Big Foot 4R V-3 ???????

    Most coils treat quadrants 1 & 3 as being the same, and quadrants 2 & 4 as being the same. Bigfoot is the only coil (to my knowledge) where all 4 quadrants are unique. When a V3 is factory calibrated, it is a random flip of the coin (50/50) as to how the Bigfoot quadrants are processed. So some...

    Big Foot 4R V-3 ???????

    DFX-Bigfoot should work just fine in either 2.5k or 7.5k.

    Big Foot 4R V-3 ???????

    The Bigfoot is a complicated loop, and to make it work with V3 will take a lot of redesign. It is currently being built by an independent company that doesn't have the know-how to do this. Right now, White's doesn't have anyone available to help out. So the short answer is, a V3 Bigfoot is a...

    Dominant 22.5 coins in 3 freq. Best Data?

    Best frequency is determined not only by metal content, but also size & thickness. For thicker coins with high silver content (US silver), there is no question that 2.5kHz will hit harder than 22.5kHz. For US nickels (even though they are 75% copper) 22.5kHz will hit hardest. 22.5kHz may also...

    V3 Loops, and Recommended Gains

    V3 Loops, and Recommended Gains

    In the Sensitivity screen V3 reports a recommended gain setting for the preamp. Someone recently asked if holding the loop in the air should result in a recommended gain of 15. My initial answer was 'yes', but after discussing this with the engineering team it is not so simple. V3 looks at the...

    WHITE'S SPECTRA V3 AND SUN RAY INVADER DX-1 TARGET PROBE COMPATIBILITY

    One option is to create a secondary program for the DX-1. Ferinstance, suppose you have a program called "RonsProg" for which you have V tweaked up the way you want it for normal hunting. Then create an exact copy called "RonsProgDX1" but tweak RX gain (and anything else) for optimal probe...

    Big Foot 4R Vision

    I ran into the fellow who makes Bigfoot coils at lunch last week. He is only making DFX versions, not V. We discussed it for a short while, but I'm not sure how to get to a V-compliant Bigfoot. It's hard enough to make regular loops V-compliant, and Bigfoot is a strange design. One solution is...
