F19 any one notice volume is not to loud.

[Frank in NH]

tried different settings, maybe I am deaf in one and can't hear out of the other!

 

[lytle78]

Are you talking about the all metal threshold or the target sounds?

Hmmm...thats no good.!.

A fellow would think the majority of the 'target market demographic' for a detector mfg. are 'guys over 50'...Being in that classification myself, most of us are nearly deaf, so it would stand to reason a mfg would make sure the volume strength coming out of the brain box is full power and as loud and crisp as possible, even to the point of pain for younger ears...the younger single guys could always dial it down and balance it at the phones? I do this with my 70, I run it full power from the On/Off knob, and balance the signal accordingly at the phones..If I accidentally put my phones on backwards, or the phone knobs get out of whack, I cant walk a straight line!.

Any old guy needs a hard crisp clear balanced high volume command to stop a fellow dead in his tracks!...All of us who are long time married know this!...All the tiny little muttered and mumbled annoying signals are habitually ignored as back scatter chatter by old married guys,

example: "I saw Jenny at the Piggley Wiggley today, She said Bruce has a colonoscopy scheduled Thursday and she has to do the laundry" "The Hummingbird feeder needs filled, the gutters need to be cleaned",
"Does this smock make me look fat?"etc.

A rig or Wife has to YELL to get our attention! "Silver Dollar!"

Now I wonder if theres Factory specked max 'Decibel ratings' on rigs, if so, whats the 19 got? What do all F rigs have? All of them should be well over 100db...like a top fuel dragster, or a Wife who sees a spider! Right? Pavlovs dog kind of thing going on here....We really are that audibly tone deaf and simple...

Frank-----My hearing is not all that great & I don't find the F-19 volume weak at all.------What I do is as I have always done with all my detectors----turn the detector volume up to max & then control the volume through the H.P. adjustable ear phone cup volume knobs.-----I use h.p.'s that has volume controls on both ear cups (in my case, Sunray Pro Golds).-----If that volume isn't enough for you doing that----flip the limiter switch---that'll "knock your sox off"! ----------Del

I have tried my Sunray Golds wide open plus two of my other top of the line headphones. Might be something wrong with the F19 as all my headphones work well on my other 8 detectors. What was the early call back for on the F19s?

 

[detectingMO]

What volume setting are you using on the F19?

 

[Frank in NH]

Using a volume of 11.

 

[detectingMO]

So all targets are quiet instead of just iron at that setting? Does setting it to 20 change anything? Maybe a bug with Fetone.

 

[amberjack]

volume 1 to 9 notched and unnotched volume is the same, volume of 10 notched is zero and all unnotched is max, so going past 10 only increases iron or notched out sounds.

good in modern trash turn the junk down and the good stuff up.

I have killer B's one volume control and its plenty loud make sure you have the limiter switch in the right spot if using pro golds etc..

I have to agree with you frank..im starting to wonder if something is wrong with my f19..i use mine without headphones, it doesn't seem as loud as ones ive seen on YouTube vids ( like dirtfishing 's)... im not saying it misses much,i love the thing, but i do wonder

 

[Rob in (Ca)]

The f19 volume settings are not your normal settings ....... you must read the manual for your correct volume setting .........as the higher the volume number the louder the detector .........is not the case with the f19

 

[Tom Slick]

On the F19 you will get the maximum volume on Non ferrous targets at any setting above 10. Settings of 11 and up only affect the ferrous target volume. I also found the F19 volume to be on the quiet side. My SunRay Pro Gold phones have plenty of volume on the F19 but every other pair I have are very quiet. Almost to the point of being unacceptable to me. Fisher needs to bump up the F19 volume to the Gold Bug Pro Volume.

 

[Frank in NH]

Tom I run mine on 10 VOL. and volume is still pretty quite using my Sunray Pro Gold unless you are right on top of target and target is shallow. I agree with Tom volume should be louder unless he and i have weak F19s.

One things for sure I need my readers to see the menu.

 

[Nuke em]

I am thinking of buying an F19 and hope the sounds are good and loud .
Wondering what the Gray Ghost headphones are like on the F19 , though as with the Terra and the Explorer I would probably have to have the volume at the max.

 

[88junior]

I use Gray Ghost and they sound great with the F19! Loud and clear audio!

 

[Nuke em]

That is good to know , they are the only headphones I use now and the nugget Busters.
