Disc-notch ????

Disc will hurt depth and sensitivity to smaller items - if you use Disc and Notch together don't "double discriminate" areas on the lower end of the VDI range...there's no need for it.
You can use Disc = 10 in a stock program, but if you want to notch, start your N1 out at 11 instead of 0
Or, for a tad more depth and sensitivity, use Disc = 2.0 and then start N1 at 0 to whatever upper range you want.
I have a "4K silver" program that's basically Deus Fast in 4 kHZ with Disc set at 2.0 instead of 10. I notch 00-72 and although I realize that I'm missing loads of targets, in a high-EMI area it runs very quiet and stable. Can hit a dime at 7" in Reactivity = 3 which is fine for a lot of places. I haven't tried to set Disc = 72 but I would imagine that 4-5" would be max depth for a dime considering the difference I get with Disc = 2.0 vs Disc = 10
Maybe another video is needed

If you run Disc = 0 you will of course get the max depth but at the cost of some iron rejection, according to Andy's book. Depends on the site, but usually a small amount of Disc like 2-4 will be enough for the software to do its thing. I would hate to get a nice sounding whisper signal, only to dig down 18" for a rusty can (unless it's full of half eagles lol)

One other thing I've learned recently is that having some disc (and in fact, perhaps bumping it up to 5 or 6 rather than 2 lots of us have been using0 is that it helps reduce some of the iron wraparound we experience. In my case, it does seem to help. And does so with very little depth degradation at that low of a level (allegedly -- I haven't done any testing on the difference).

Press options, scroll to configuration, then press the "+" button and the pinpoint button at the same time and quickly release. You will now have "Advanced" in your screen. Scroll to and enter on "Advanced" and you'll be able to go from there. You won't have to do the same thing every time you need the XY graph...until you turn off the remote. Once you turn off the remote, you have to do it all over again. HH!
