........And another Elite/GT question? regarding AUDIO DEPTH

[Donny nj]

Whats the best way to you determine target depth with the SOV.?..
I just listen close for the volume level of the signal, loud = shallow, fainter = deeper, my unit is on MAX Vol & I adjust a comfort level via my dual headphone Vol.......but the real deepies are tricky to the untrained ear that where I employ the Go Slow & "Wiggle".

How about your technics?

This gets a little involved at times....ground conditions and the particular coil used have considerable effect.

Sound varies from loud and distorted for shallow , gradually shifting to strong and clean for medium depth, down to softer(but still respectable) for deep.(disc mode)

If the tone comes up quickly....just one or two passes for the highest tone.......and stays there, then it is anywhere from surface down to fairly deep (not the deepest).

If you only get a threshold shift at first, then have to wiggle or make additional passes to get target audio to come up, then it's right at the depth limit.

If you get a hit that climbs with the third, or more passes, then it's near the limit.

Note......it frequently takes two passes to get the right ID even on a strong hit.

A wide hit is shallow, narrow is deep.

I sort of mesh all that stuff together to get it figured out.

Another way is to raise the coil to see how fast the signal drops away. The higher you can raise the coil, the more shallow the target.
