PF setting on F 75 SE

[John (Ma)]

Does anyone use the PF setting for fields or do you stay with BP? What are your set ups. The field I am looking at is plowed and there will be some grassy area, but mostly plowed. Thanks

My setup on the LTD.
Reset
turn on
lower discrimination to 5
raise sensitivity until it just starts to make an occasional pop or crack
ground balance in de mode
change to bp mode
If all stay fairly quiet I hunt
Else I start lowering the sensitivity
I never raise the discrimination to quiet the machine down
Even at sensitivity 40 in BP mode you won't miss much
Sweeping slower in BP mode is fine, but if you hunt in PF mode you must have a faster sweep speed in order to not loose depth
Please note:
dropping sensitivity into the 60 does not result in lost depth while in any BP mode only a lower volume on deep targets

I have the older F75, it doesn't have BP mode. But sounds like a good setup to me. I run in JE mode for parks and gb in all metal first. I take the machine all the way out of balance and let auto grab balance then. I then GB in JE mode, at a disc of 4. Sometimes up to 20. With the plowed field may be best to go all metal. I still don't understand the All Metal Stat mode. But it is super sensitive on mine. I look forward to others post on here.
