Hello to everyone, Well while I was playing with the v3i settings i found something was not there before, at least I thought so. somewhere in the expert mode apeared a setting ''signal boost'' and even another ''signal range'' and you raise up or lowering down. At first I raised up both but when I went out from settings to test what it was I just could not find it again. If anybody has an idea about those two things could he explain to me please?

I really can't remember! I will let know when i ll fall on it again, all I can say I think I hit the 4 arrow keys while holding pressed ''enter'' in audio options and heard four times error or something and when I moved downwards in the -audio settings?- it was there?! I really can't help guys with that, imho.I am sorry if I am confusing you.

It sounds like you stumbled on something a service technician would use to align the V3i and not meant for the user to mess with.

That sounds like a question for White's service since we don't know what it does...
Ok thanks for your replying but I am sure it was a deferent option choice than the usuall. I mean it is not the vdi tone range setting cause I am using the detector for months now and I know most of the settings how to raise or lower down any of the adjustments. Well now if it was from the frequency settings it should be the offset setting. I don't know guys, sorry if I am confusing again.
I have found one I didn't see before its ''audio boost'' and it can be found in expert mode-search audio-then check for ''stereo mixed'' and you go further down and the last option setting in ''stereo mixed'' it is that. Its range is from -off- and 1 to 69. Mine its on 8. Now my qwestion, is it doing what it says it does or I should n't touch it?
Were you in the Prosp Scan menu? <expert menu><Configure><Live search screen><Search or Analysis><Prosp. scan>
There is a phase range option there. Is that what you saw?
Next time you find something you don't understand, you can get an idea on what it does by pressing Menu + Zoom. It will bring up a description of the option you are on.
I don't know if that's where you were, but prosp scan is a screen that shows the phase of the ground. It is a slowly updated display as your ground should change slowly. Target blips may not be able to be shown. The goal is to find those black sand pockets that people might want to sift through for gold. The phase range allows you to adjust what range of phases to show on your display. If you know that the phases you are interested in lie between 180 and 165 degrees, you'd set the top of your screen to 165 and the bottom of your screen to 180 and mid to be somewhere in the middle of that. You can select your resolution this way.
If that's not what you saw, I'm not sure what you did see.

I responded to your original post. Didn't get this far I guess.
You can touch it. Stereo mixed mode sounds all metal in one ear, discrimination in the other. The discrimination threshold and the all metal audio play tricks on the ears so they sound like they are at different volumes when they're really not. Audio boost adjusts the volume in one of the ears (I forget which, but I think it's the discrimination channel - I'm not in front of the software and it's been quite a while, so out of sight, out of mind...) to trick the ears into hearing the thresholds equally again. It won't hurt anything - it's just to even out the thresholds for a person's ears.
It depends on if you use the excludes feature or not. You can have it either way. You can have it for all programs or different for each program. You have to set the volume every time you go to a new site depending how noisy it is that day. I keep all my tones the same for all my programs. Thats how you learn the tones.
You can just try it yourself.
