Howdy folks, Im new to the Racer 2 scene and already Im having issues! The machine air-tests a merc dime at 7 inches. a silver quarter at barely 8 inches. Is that all I can expect from this machine? Also incredibly noisy: I must turn the gain down to 40 or so just to get it quiet. Lastly, in 2 tone, deep, and all metal modes, I cannot turn the gain up past 79 or I get an alarm and a "saturation" warning. In 3 tone its fine (but noisy above 60 or so). Any ideas what is going on?
Ive hunted with it twice (once downtown urban, and once open park) and have not brought up anything deeper than 4-5 inches or so. Ive kept it in 3 tone with gain at 70 (chatty) with no notch/ID filters. GB is between 70-90, which is pretty high here in Boise (past machines have not shown that high a reading that consistently).
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris
