Air testing the Tiger Shark

[dan b]

I'm curious as to what kind of depths people are getting with air tests with their Tiger Sharks. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan

Mine air tests a dime at 7 inches and a Quarter 8 or 9 inches........But it will go deeper than that in the wet sand. Just keep the disc low at around 2 or 3 and get a good nuetral ground balance. Set the sens to where it chatters some then back off a little before closing the box. Threshold set to just audible and volume as much as you can stand on a shallow target.

Thanks for the information. Mine can't get a response on anything past 4". The sensitivity adjustment has no effect whatsoever, and the GB adjustment screams when turned negative, and the threshold goes silent when turning positive. To GB in my soil, I need to turn the GB full positive, actually to the point where the 3 3/4 turn pot is maxed out (5 turns in the positive direction of the knob as outlined in the manual for air testing).

Needless to say, I was sold a defective machine. It's on it's way back to Tesoro for repairs. Since it's used I may have to pay, but that's okay. I'll end up with a hot TS when it comes back. I went through the same ordeal when I bought a used Cortes. It was defective, so I sent it in. Tesoro fixed it for free and it was one hot Cortes when I got it back.
