:ODST 9.1 it is on. Email from Fisher

[still looking 52]

AMEN! Revier.

 

[Elton]

Not shabby .................hahahhahahahhha

 

[REVIER]

Not shabby .................hahahhahahahhha

Sure Elton, but the real question is are they finding it all on 9.0, 9.1 or the special hidden program # 8.76520 that only a few know about or even know how to turn on?

 

[nalc472]

You F70s are just jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!! You wish U had DST!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Elton]

Only Jim TN and Tinfoil knew about That..

 

[digsgti]

I only hunt in 9.0 and havent needed 9.1 yet. Sometimes I will frequency shift, thats about it. I feel like 9.0 is 85% of full DST or 9.1. Both modes are much quieter than older firmwares. When I sent my machine in for the upgrade I figured it would be exactly the same with the ability to turn on DST when needed. I feel like Fisher gave us a machine with full time DST with the option of using even more DST at a very slight performance loss.

 

[Tinfoil]

Oh man who ratted out our silver program #8. Now the 8.5 gold program is the only one left. Only Jim TN., Elton and I know that one. I just don't know how #8 got out. Maybe some one just played around and figured it out. Now the silver is not safe anymore. I am just at a loss for words. HH Jerry aka Tinfoil

 

[jim tn]

Jerry, look at those 8*********numbers carefully. Those are the silver program numbers you initially gave to Elton and I 7-8 years ago, which, you then revised by several digits after further study. Do not fear, our silver program is still safe and in la la land. HH jim tn

 

[REVIER]

You guys are funny...and a bit nuts.
That right there is what makes this such a great hobby!

 

[Tinfoil]

Oh man I was really sweating that. Safe is good.. Thanks for reminding me. CRS sure is getting to me in my old age. HH Jerry aka Tinfoil

 

[Tinfoil]

OK Revier, cough it up, how did you get the numbers?????? Me, Jim and Elton want to know. That is just wrong and did not even tell us. No wonder he has been finding that new silver he posted. HH Jerry aka Tinfoil

It appears I have a big mouth.
The super underground black suited govt. agent that swore me to secrecy told me a ton but I have already said too much.
I can tell you more...but then I would have to kill you.

 

[Tinfoil]

OK, well I guess you are just stuck with us old sliver guys. HH Later Jerry aka Tinfoil

Just the facts from Fisher --- DST is on set at 9.0

Crazy how some of you do not want to believe the company that made it???

Copied from the opening post.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sent a question to the FIsher Company. The email said this

When the unit is on 9.1 the DST mode is on. I have been hunting for 1.5 years with the DST off.

We have been told the opposite
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So who do we believe the factory or the factory? Seems now they have said both ways.

D.S.T. (DIGITAL SHIELDING TECHNOLOGY)"
Traditional detector technology requires users to "work into the noise" at high gain settings to
achieve maximum possible depth. The F75's latest technological advance,
Digital Shielding Technology (DST®), permits the use of maximum sensitivity settings with
minimum background noise. This noise reduction reduces user fatigue and enhances the
detecting experience.
The user may choose to operate with DST or without DST.
The default setting, at power-on, employs DST
To turn DST OFF, perform the following:
1. Turn detector off.
2. Press-and-hold the red MENU button and
push-forward-and-hold the TOGGLE SWITCH.
3. Turn the detector on, while you are still holding the controls.
4. Continue to hold the controls.
5. See the "90" displayed.
6. Rotate SETTINGS KNOB clockwise.
7. See "91" displayed.
8. Release the MENU button and TOGGLE SWITCH.
Upon release of the controls, the detector will operate WITHOUT DST
DST status is saved to memory after the user performs this procedure.
Each time the detector is powered back on, it will continue in the programmed setting.
The same procedure is used to turn DST back on, except that the SETTING KNOB is turned
counterclockwise to change "91" to "90".
DST can be turned on or off as desired, but each change requires the user to first power the
detector off.

In the above its pretty clear that the DST is set as default.

The switching process starts out at default displaying "90" and switching to "91" to turn DST off!

The manual then states farther down that to switch back you will be switching from "91" to "90" to turn DST back on!

The manual is CLEAR in that "90" is the factory default and this would employ DST!

I have seen manual typo's but in this case the same claim in reinforced later in the topic.

Soooo Sad ////// LOL

 

[jim tn]

If the manual was wrong in the first place seemingly in the same topic it would be wrong later. If one can't tell any difference between 9.0 and 9.1 on their machine, then its all a mute point, anyway. HH jim tn

It sounds like DST may in part be a noise filter suppresser.... Like on a stereo with some added features to boot..maybe a little less sensitivity..but what do I know... A guess at best.

Digital shielding technology ..Digital the (micro processor)..Shielding ( Noise suppression) Technology ... Worked into a program by Fisher engineers.
