All Metal or Zero Discrimination

[gabbyhayes]

I've been reading the manual before my detector arrives, and I have two questions.
I haven't found a preset program with zero discrimination,is this correct?
Is there a way to do a select all, or deselect all VDI's? Or must a person do it VDI by VDI to create a custom program.
Pardon my ignorance, as I'm trying to learn some of the detectors features by just reading the manual until my detector arrives.
Thanx

Go to the Audio menu in Live controls or Advanced Menu and under Search Audio, you can choose All Metal Mode. If you wanted to make or alter a program for All Metal, you can go to the Discrimination menu and accept all VDI's by selecting -95 or +95, toggle to accept, and hold down the Enter key and hold the up or down arrow to zip right through all VDI's which will change all of them to accept. You can also assign what ever tone or tones to any or all of the VDI's to your liking as well.

I don't hunt All Metal Mode, but I would think you will want to reject -80 through -95 since that is the ground phase area for most users and I don't think you would want to hear the ground as a target......

The prospect program is in all metal mode. But as Larry stated, if you start in any program, all you have to do is change the audio mode.

Why not use Mixed Mode, which allows you to monitor the All Metal channel via changes in the threshold, while hearing the beep of desired targets? I accept all targets from -40 to -95. It discriminates out iron with no beeping, but I still hear changes in the threshold when iron is encountered.
