[Anonymous]

Do i need to set the groundbalance and treshold also in de disc. mode??? <img src="/metal/html/confused.gif" border=0 width=15 height=22 alt=":?"> of is it only need for hunting in all-metal mode.
I know to do this in all metall but was wondering if i do not will it have bad effect in disc. mode??? because i always thought that treshold and grounbalnce in disc. mode was factory preset <img src="/metal/html/confused.gif" border=0 width=15 height=22 alt=":?">

I don't hunt in disc very much but heres how I do it. Set your ground balance and threshold in all metal and then switch to disc. Thats all there is to it. Once you get used to groundbalancing you don't even have to think about it and it takes all of 5 seconds.

had a preset GB on either the AM or Disc. but I can't remember.
Most of the Tesoro models that have a Ground Balance control effect the All metal and Disc.
The Tesoro models that do not have a GB are all factory Preset.
Monte or Joe Bolton might be able to give a better more technical answer.

There are some definite differences between brands, and even between models from one maker. Some models have a Discriminate mode that is preset internally and is NOT tied in with the manual ground balance control, and some have circuitry where the Disc. mode IS tied into the manually-adjusted GB.
In the case of the Cort

First off, the major portion of your question doesn't apply to Disc mode at all because you can ONLY properly set your Threshold level and ground balance manually in All Metal mode.
Second off, the ONLY time you detector has a factory-preset anything is if your detector is a turn on and go model and your own Tesoro has no way to manually ground balance it.
You didn't mention what model of Tesoro you have, but regardless, here's where the All Metal and Disc modes MAY potentially have bearing on each other. And that scenario only involves Tesoros whose manual ground balance setting in All Metal also carries over to Disc mode. If you're using a metered Tesoro, it doesn't matter at all -- you manual GB setting in All Metal does not carry over to Disc mode, which is the mode most people hunt in. I *think* the GB setting in Disc mode does apply to the Bandido/Eldorado, but even there I don;t remember.
