Howdy,
Well, I'm really confused.
Up till recently, I always ran in Relic ALT mode, with Disc at preset, and Gain at preset or +1, Thresh at barely audible.
It was noisy , but thats what I had gotten used too.
So, this year Ive been out 4 times , in the last 2 weeks,
Twice at totlots, and twice relic type , old homesteads.
Ive been using Relic Primary, and switching to ALT , over the same targets, prior to digging. to see the difference in each mode.
The Primary is quieter, of course , on account of the slower SAT speed.
BUT, here is my problem.
It seems the Primary mode tends to pick up on targets ALOT better. They sound off ,and its a definite target.
But , after I switch to relic ALT , and check the same target, its erratic, and theres times that I think I may have missed the target, because the ALT mode almost, doesnt even recognize, or should I say sound off, on a target that the Primary mode EASILY see's.
Ive been reading the Edge , trying to find a reason for the behavior, but cant seem to find anything. Except for "Verify stability"
So, I'm getting a little worried, as I thought the higher SAT speed , Relic ALT mode , should be hitting targets the same as, or even better than the slower Relic Primary mode.
Its really confusing me .
So , I find that I trust the Relic Primary mode , and am using it more.
I feel I CANT trust the faster SAT speeds.
And I dont like the idea, of not being able to fully utilize , or trust my MXT's other modes.
Any Ideas?? would be very helpful.
I have seen a few posts , of detectors , having problem behaviors, and having to be sent in , for tune ups.
So, thats stuck in my head, and I'm a little worried that this behavior, is something that I cant fix.
And jeez, its not like I have very many hours on it, and I treat it like glass. Ive never had it out in wet weather, never dropped it,etc.
I'm just not having fun with it.
Thanks you guys ,
Dusty
