I bought a Red Heat XD-17 micro today

There should still be a few video's on Youtube. If not I think Dino still has his and should be able to help. If he can't be located on Finds check on the Friendly Forum.
Unfortunately Vic died a few years back so no spares or backup except perhaps in Holland (think I was told a Dutch bloke bought up all the remaining stock/spares).

thank you. detctor work fine, but i am interesting how better use this detector? under buttery have 2 trimer, one for adjust sensitivity and one for 13ghz coil adjust. maybe sombody know how it is work? i manual no information about this. and ground balance, how make ground balance better, step by step. maybe sombody know. thankyou
Way to hijack my post,If my machine comes with a manual I will post what I can. I suspect the only man who knows what the trimmers do is no longer with us. I think I will leave them alone. If I dont get a manual does anyone have one we can copy or scan? I would like to have a look at it before my machine arrives.
This is why we should all buy detectors with a ground balance (and because its abouty twenty years since I last did this....hopefully someone will clarify my ramblings!)
You need a ferrite core or ring as ferrite near a coil simulates a ground phase of 0.
Ground in most cases ranges from 0 to minus 4 or minus 5 degrees. If you adjust the trimmer to around plus 0.5 the detector will not seem to respond to the ground. In fact it is but the ground effect is causing a reduction/null in the audio which you can't hear as your using a silent search detector. Larger ferrous and non ferrous creates a rise in the audio allowing you to find find metal as long as the trimmer has not been set too negative ie if you set to minus 6 from the point where metal sounds off and a small gold ring can only create a plus five or six the rise in response is still going to be in the silent audio section so you would not hear it. Anyway thats the theory !

I got it today,the manual says run the ground on the preset for discrim mode. Which is the only choice you have on the micro I guess. This thing is alot like a gold bug se without the vco audio just hard clear beeps instead of chirps and squeaks and whines. I like it,22 cartridge brass sounds like a beer can. I found a pocket full today, I need to get this thing over a half pence or some colonial silver.
