fast on/deep on

how are your guys running this and what do you notice when you run it

I've tried a variety of settings and in most situation I haven't found much to distinguish one from the other. You aren't going to do much damage if you have one of these less than optimal. But here's what I can gather about them:

Recovery Fast
Bypasses detector filtering (turns off) when Recovery Fast is ON
With Fast ON, you'll get faster reaction to targets, especially in close proximity
With Fast OFF, two close targets can blend together into a single ID
Provides more accurate ID for near targets, otherwise ID will be more erratic
Use in high ferrous/ trashy sites for quick audio reset
Target ID and audio accuracy may be slightly more erratic (offset by better ID on close targets)
Use in conjunction with High Trash (CTX) or Trash Density (E-Trac)

Recovery Deep
Adds extra signal filtering (need to slow swing down) with Deep ON
Affects only weak signals, strong signals unaffected (meant to improve ID of deep targets)
Stronger filtering gives more stable/consistent Fe/Co values
Not suitable for weak targets that are shallow - filtering will clip audio
Not suitable for multiple deeper adjacent targets - filtering will smooth/merge audio/ID
Use best for lone, uncluttered, deep targets to get more stable/consistent Fe/Co values

High Trash
Use when ground minerals is high or ferrous targets abound
Affects only DISC (not audio), no affect in pinpoint mode (All Metal)
Target ID is bouncy - but IDs only in Non-Disc'd areas
Always reports target with the strongest Non-Disc signal
Is an attempt to avoid target ID blanking (nulling) in areas with close ferrous targets

Low Trash
Use in low trash and low-med ground minerals
More stable Target ID (not as bouncy)
Leans toward reporting the target with the strongest signal (any signal)
Reports the most stable Target ID (only those in non-DISC areas)
In trashy/iron areas (use High), otherwise Low reports strong iron signal (masking weaker adjacent signal)

this is great info thanks

Fast on degrades your audio signal terrible. I NEVER recommend it. It will make a good target sound iffy sometimes.

Deep just seems to boost the gain.

I did not like recovery fast. I bought my machine to hunt really trashy areas and this made target separation extremely unfriendly for me. As a side note I hunt on very HOT ground and this might have a totally different effect in different soil. I played with Recovery deep and it did nothing I could really get a firm grasp on that I could not do by tunning the machine my self or adjusting with coil selection so I decided not to use it.

Try air testing with fast off and on. Listen to the audio difference. Makes a good target sound iffy..... not good.

I've ran my CTX with and without Fast ON and it doesn't seem to make a difference to me. With what everyone says about it degrading the signal I would just rather turn it off because the advantage of running it on is negligible at best.

I'm also a fan of deep on, fast off....

 

[TreasureGrabber]

I run it Deep on - Fast off.
It is really best everyday setting...

Deep on - Fast on doesn't make better... I can say that this setting is even less useful.
