A "Variability" Setting To Help Reduce Iron Falsing ?

[E-Trac-Ohio]

I was going through my notes In the little pocket notebook that I carry with me while hunting and I noticed an old memo about adjusting the Variability on the E-Trac to help reduce Iron Falsing.
I think I might have read this tip in post on this forum a while back - just wanted to ask your opinions on the this subject.

What Variability ( and / or other ) settings have you found to work the best in heavily infested iron sites ?

Thanks, Mark

are you talking about iron falsing in manual sensitivity as in 2tf and auto plus three sensitiviy i can honestly say i dont suffer from iron falsing and IF ANYONE on this site knows how to stop it falsing when in manual PLEASE let me know as i would love to hunt in manual all the time

I was under the assumption a higher variability will cause iron to false a bit more.

I have grown to like reading your posts in the short time I've known about the findmall forums.
I have suffered a TON with the falsing my E trac has delt me in the 2 years Ive used it.
I have suffered the most using the multi-condictive mode in auto and manual in heavily trashed parks.
I have found SOME relief at older sites with lots of iron and little non-ferrous signals with the TTF option.
But...... this is ONLY if I use some discrimination. I have poured over Andy S. books, the manual, and the forums.
for YEARS, and have found some useful hints. The most useful is the use of discrimination with the E-trac.
TTF with a line blacked out on the top of the screen fe 01 to 50 (leaving 41 to 47 open for large silver).
Leave FE 27 and below blacked out as well because NOTHING below this will be good (in my etrac swing time).
Deal with nulls... it's telling you it's not what you are looking for.
I like to use large numbers instead of whole screen because it seems to refresh faster for me.
Good Luck

Thanks! Will give this a go down The Thames! Is it definitely a good idea to take out anything below Fe 27 when there is so much iron down there which will interfere with all signals?

Good post guys, thanks.

Good advice but I thought the question was about a variability setting?

Perhaps it's just my area/ground conditions but I find 2TF to be practically useless as far as actually eliminating iron falsing. It does make you dig more iffy signals, which I believe is why people claim to pull more goods among iron, because they all sound the same now, but I could do that in multi-tone.

I run my variability at MAX(30) because iron falsing is at the maximum FE and high CO which gives an extremely high tink sound different from a good coin sound.
