Edge Question

[North Georgia Relics]

Just got my ID Edge and have a question regarding the notch. The manual is a little confusing. If I read the manual corrctly, you can not use the notch and a preset program.

The best I could tell, I need to set the discrimination where I want it and then use the notch to select another discrimination point. Appears that only one notch is available, not that this would be a problem.

Did I read the manual correctly?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Don,

I just tried it on mine and that looks to be the case. If you put it in a preset program like New Coins(nC) and then turn on a notch it turns off the preset program. You are then in the normal mode with a notch set.

At least that's the way it appears to me.

about notches........this may help too??
>>>
Remember that the Coinstrike MUST allow use of more than 1 notch at a time because there's no way to dial up the disc on a C$ like the Excel/EDGE way. BUT, as I said before, I think the EDGE offers alot of notch possibilites...not just through the notches themselves (like tab/foil) but by ALSO combining disc AND the presets. For example, though it may appear the EDGE only cancels 1 at a time...no the disc still works too. Tonight I put the disc on +6. This cancels FOIL. I took a ball of foil out to be sure. Then I pushed NOTCH pad & went to 1c (Zincs). A square on rt side showed it was set to cancel my choosen 1C. But, it still eliminated the foil too w. disc still on +6. So disc/notch work together....just what I hoped for. So, that's 1 way to knock out 2 trash items at once. Another way would be use of a preset like OC. OC remember deletes pesky foil & tabs too (or notches 2 items). Again, simply dialing disc up as high as you choose will delete all trash, and that can also be achieved with NC (new coin) preset too. So there is room to "Play" I think with notching (& there may be other tricks to use too). >>>>

but in specific answer to Don's question it appears that if you put the detector in a preset program and then try to use the preset NOTCHes it places the detector out of the preset program and back in to normal disc mode with you notch set.

Like you said Bill, there are a lot of options. I can already see how quick it will be to change modes in the field. It was well thought out.
