F 70 notch

[PostalTwo]

hello folks just wondering about the notch feature on the f70. from what i understand 1 is 0 notch correct? now if i set 30 how wide is the notch? is it the whole target segment? or is it a set width? how does it work? thanx

I think it would be 26 to 45 range removed.... I know 40 notch takes 36 to 55 out

so its allways 4 lower and 15 higher than the number selected? or is there a chart?

I read the manual and it used that as a for instance when setting notch. So I figure that is the range of notch in each setting. I may be very wrong.



Unlike Discrimination Level, which eliminates all targets from the left of the scale to the right,
NOTCH can eliminate and re-include targets within the scale displayed at the top of the display.
Inclusion or exclusion of target ranges is indicated with a crossed icon.
To demonstrate how to set a notch, follow this instruction at first use.
RESET DETECTOR
1. Turn detector off.
2. Press-and-hold both the GROUNDGRAB and
MENU buttons.
3. Turn the detector on, while you are still pressing
the buttons.
4. Detector displays

3. Notice that a slash appears across the word

Unlike the F75 which can notch out partial sections of each range, the whole thing goes when you set numbers inside those notch section.
Also, if disc is low and you set a notch in a higher section, or a few different notches which is also possible, the notch sections will indeed be notched out.
On the other hand if your disc is set high and you set a notch below that disc number the notch system works in an opposite manner and that section will be notched in instead.

if thats true then why have a number why not make it just move to the icon and select?

I see it the same way as REVIER, a half section on the F75 and whole section on the F70.

Just the way the processor program is set up...a whole segment of numbers are notched out at different levels...

PostalTwo good question. I use both slash out and notch out. My coin program is: Notch out iron, foil, and tabs. I know the coin numbers and that is about all I dig is coin numbers. It really helps when you want to dig a lot of coins and there is a lot of trash. I used Disc@21 today because not a whole lot of trash. Setting of 21 slashes out iron and just slashes out foil. Sometimes a nickle comes in at high 20's, some gold rings will come in sometimes at mid 20's. If you start playing around with setting after you get to know the machine you will be surprised on what you can do with the F70. I really didn't play around with the settings for sometime because I just got too confused and spent more time trying to set it up than detecting. I was always worried about if I had the best settings and how much I was missing. I reset the detector and run standard settings until I had a good idea what the F70 could do. Thanks for reading and Happy Trails.....Z
