FYI X-Terra 50 vs 70 iron handling

[Jackpine Savage]

FYI for you X-T 70 users, for best performance in iron (and if you want to match your buddy using the 50!) you need to turn tracking on when hunting in and around iron. You can easily verify this by checking some iffy signals from targets co-lcated with iron by switching tracking on/off and noting the difference in response. Evidently due to the 70 having the additional prospecting mode where being able to turn tracking on/off is a necessity some of the same iron response handling that is "built in" to the 50 is only available on the 70 with tracking turned on.

Thought you all should be aware of this fact since it is not mentioned anywhere in the manual.

Glad I kept my 50 to go along with my 70. Whenever the 5" coils become available, I will assign that small coil to my 50. John
