Discrimination vs. Detection Depth

[Twinkletoes]

I would like to know much increasing the discrimination affects detection depth in the Excalibur 1000. Any thoughts?

No effect on Excal or Sov.......

Audio discrimination is used.......the audio simply turns off to reject a target if the detector finds the target ID to fall within the discriminate range setting. That's all that happens. All targets are still looked at, and the threshold will still give you a target ID.
No depth is lost .

You do have to watch out for one thing.....
If you get a weak hit it may initially be low enough to fall into the disc reject range and all you will hear is the change in threshold.
When this happens, you would want to swing over the spot a few more times to see if the detector can bring up the target ID to an accepted value.

This is why we usually do not turn up discrimination on BBS detectors. We listen to it all and pick what we like.
