I have a question.operation/Depth related

[Elton]

Does the detector dictate to the coil for depth and stability..Or does the coil dictate to the detector Micro processor the signal obtained for depth & Stability

 

[Eu_citzen]

Both.

Can you explain more about what you're looking for. The coil is just an antennae. TX from the antennae is constant and you adjust receive gain. It would seem that all else is done with "software".

When you buy a detector it comes with standard coil...Then secondary coils are added....some say increase depth by 20% or more..Others are less depthed for trash hunting..My question..which controls the depth and stability coils, or the processor in the detector..............

I agree with Eu citizen. Larger coils, or antennae can overload and cause instability, in which case smaller coils would smooth the operation. On the other hand, a poor processor could not minimize the noise/signal ratio and would sound erratic. It could also be said that sweep speed can dictate depth and stability. All these are interrelated and is what causes the difference of success with different brands. I am not informed enough to know more than this.
