    93 isn't necessarily bad

    When using the ground probe a 93 doesn't mean your ground is BAD. It simply means your ground is ferrous in content as apposed to alkaline.. [attachment 311068 ScreenHunter_106Apr.1111.45.jpg] The strength reading will tell you how mineralized your soil is. In this case the soil strength is...

    RX and Disc

    In response to a PM. RX and Disc do not do the same tasks. The RX is a pre-amp that increases the incoming signal. The higher sensitivity setting improves target signals, but it also increases the amount of audio noise and can make “THE V” more “chattery.” This is especially true when EMI is...

    V3i Video

    Guys I watched a you tube video where the guy is comparing a CTX3030 and a V3i on a 10" quarter. If you are running yours this way you are wrong. Any time you change programs or any of the gains you need to ground balance. I can't post the link because it has advertising.

    13" Ultimate coil

    I was asked in a PM. Hello Rob, I did a search for the 13" Ultimate coil for the V3i but came up empty. Would you happen to know if the 13" Ultimate coil would work on the V3i? My answer would be NO. Now I know we had a post where someone said it worked on their V3i. However, the seller makes...

    Looking for the old timers

    I was looking for some of the old timers. I was curious if you are still around or if you have switched detectors. Drop me a PM.

    Loss of Tracking

    Some people have reported losing the ground balance while digging a target. Many problems are caused by an improper G/B. The Autotrac system expects to see some amount of ground signal; when you lay the detector on the ground such that the loop is tilted upwards, there is not enough ground...

    Filters and speed (old link)

    About filter and speed Adjusting the filters and recovery delay will influence how the detector identifies a target or if a target is even present, the ground filters and the SAT are used to cancel out the effects of ground. The recovery delay is used to tell the detector when to start looking...

    V3i Sensitivity (old link)

    Sensitivity Section The sensitivity section contains settings to adjust the detectors response to weak signals and noise conditions. The receive gain, RX gain, setting controls the signal gain for the amplifier connected to the loop. This input stage amplifier needs to be adjusted for optimal...

    The White 10x12 SEF (old link)

    Optimized (White) 10x12 SEF Coil SEF stands for (Symmetric Electromagnetic Field). The SEF coil is a modified DD where the two loops overlap each other in the middle. When testing the prototype V3i I experienced less ground noise, slightly better depth and better coverage with the non V rated...

    Spectra Coils (old link)

    Spectra Coils The Spectra series detectors were designed to run with V rated coils. V rated coils are coils that are nulled to a higher tolerance then non V rated Whites coils and aftermarket coils. These coils allow the V detectors to operate at the highest possible efficiency. There are 3...

    Zero Tones (old link)

    WHY Zero Tones The main reason I don’t reject VDI is “The way the code is written the detector can react faster by having it accept all targets and setting a 0 tone to the ones you don't want to hear, rather than rejecting targets. “(From Anne) There can be a little difference. 1) For an...

    Master Reset (old link)

    This was a post I copied from Carl@Whites. Everybody thought the master reset was a fix all.:rant: The HARD RESET doesn't do squat unless by some strange set of circumstances the processors don't get turned off (the regulator is supposed to make that happen though). If they get into some weird...

    Hunting in Mineralized Soil (old link)

    HUNTING IN MINERALIZED GROUND WITH THE V3i Rx Gain Sensitivity: will influence the all-metal mode, pinpoint mode and the discrimination mode. The setting for the Rx is determined by how much trash/iron is in the ground and the ground mineralization strength. The Rx gain being set too high can...

    Ground Balance (old link)

    What does Ground Balance do? = It compensates for ground mineralization so that your detector doesn't see the ground as a target. It calculates a VDI for the ground and then ignores that VDI, also known as Ground Exclusion Balance or "GEB". What does AutoTrac do? = It samples the ground and...

    Falsing (old Link)

    "Falsing" is a broad term used where your detector generates “good” signals, and generally there is no target. EXTERNAL SOURCES External factors that can result in falsing are EMI and Mineralization. 1 presence of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), harmonics of your detector's operating...

    Ground tracking (old link)

    Tracking All right we covered the correct way to ground balance the V3i. Now that the detector has filtered out the ground signal we need to maintain that balance using the tracking options. Those two options would be Autotrac or LockTrac. A proper GB should really be done before the AutoTrac is...
