I have question expl.2

[Johnny]

The question is on the cross hair target frame. The book saids to use the medium frame, but when do you use the small and large frame, what are they for?????

 

[Rick(ND)]

These are used when you want to learn or reject a target while making a disc pattern.
The small one is used when you are making a pattern where 2 targets may read close to one another with one a trash item. You can use the small box and reject or break the trash signal up on the one item and yet still get the other. This also works the other way around too if you use the learn function to open up a black screen too to only pick out certain target you want to accept. We know all targets are not in perfect environment and many have other targets close by which can cause many signals to not read in the correct area on the screen. Now we use the bigger box for the cross hairs so any target that will read close to that area will give a signal.
Most will find that making these different programs are only good when you want to cherry pick a area, but if you want to get many of the deep targets or targets close to trash items everyone has missed over the years you have to run with a very open pattern with nothing disc out or very little and go more by the audio tones to get them. I am sure you will read many targets found that read as trash on the cross hairs, but the audio sounded too good to be trash and when dug was a good item many have walked over for years and though it was trash.

A good many Explorer users that do well basically run it wide open to hear all and discriminate by the tones..Heck the Explorer is good but ground conditions, deep target, tilted target, next to trash etc. a target may be off a hair and if you use the small one you may miss them..The secret of an Explorer is interpeting the tonal responses and once you do that your pouch will be heavier...
