Mixed mode

[kshollywood]

Can someone do a video of the v3i or VX3 while running mixed mode? I've asked a hundred times and can't get anyone to film it so I can understand it better

What don't you inderstand about Mixed Mode? I will try to help but won't be making a video.

What the sounds are supposed to be. Why do some items beep and why do some items just hum but no beep.

OK you asked about Mixed - Mode not Stereo Mixed Mode. In mixed mode, the all metal channel will sound for a target until the signal is strong enough to trigger the Discrimination mode then you hear the discrimination tone. If the target is too deep or small you will only hear the all metal tone and never will hear the discrimination tone.

If you want to know what the sounds are, put the detector in all metal mode and find a target. Now you can hear what all metal sounds like. Then put the detector in Discrimination mode and hear what the target sounds like in discriminaton. Last put the detector in MM and now you hear the MM sound for the same target.

MM is the same as for any of the Whites detectors, DFX, MXT, etc as far as what you hear.

But I have heard the hum noise on something 5" in the ground, shouldn't the disc channel pick that up?

If the discrimination sensitivity is high enough to hear it and you don't have it discriminated out. If you had pull tabs disc-ed out the all metal would see it but the disc channel wouldn't.
