Equinox Beach 1 and Beach 2 Factory Presets.

[opa81]

When I look at the Minelab Equinox Users Manual and see the Beach1 and Beach 2 Factory Presest they are exactly the same.

But still Minelab keeps saying that it is better to use Beach 2 for hunting the surf.

What is going on here .....

I use beach 1 both in and out of the water. Works good in my area.

Read page 25 in the manual very carefully. There are some differences that are preset at the factory.

Agreed Jeff but even if you set them up exactly the same you will see a difference in the way the machine performs due to the way the different modes are programmed.

I guess I could have said it better. I was not referring to factory presets that a user can adjust. The internal settings that are described on the "Beach Modes" page which is page 25 in the latest online manual explain why Beach 1 and Beach 2 are very different modes and those differences cannot be changed by the user. That page also shows how different the Beach modes are from the other modes and why the Equinox is such a good beach hunter not just because it is simultaneous multi frequency but because it has the capability of doing all sorts of internal automatic adjustments to deal with salt and black sand that were not programmed into the other search modes by Minelab.
