Coming from years of a Minelab back ground, admittedly, I am still learning the nuances of the Deus II. Given that, I’ve been experimenting with my Salt Sensitive setting. I’ve been lowering this setting incrementally and now have tried it all the way down to 1 and see no downside. In fact, I see a more stable Deus than ever before. I’ve tested this setting for depth and sensitivity and have not seen any degradation of overall performance in a salty environment.
Thinking about this, here’s my logic. With a setting at 9, the Deus is the most sensitive to salt. As we increasingly lower that setting, the sensitivity to salt is reduced incrementally. At some point the Deus II becomes stable in a wet salt environment. Given that the lower the setting, the less sensitive it is to salt, why not just lower it down to the lowest setting of 1 so that it is the least sensitive possible? After all, we aren’t trying to detect salt so why not eliminate the effects of that salt as much as possible?
Where am I off base here? What am I missing? What’s the downside to a Salt Sensitivity setting at 1?
