Got my AT PRO a couple of days ago and have read in the instruction manual that iron audio operates in std mode as well as pro mode. Is this right... cause if its meant to, mine doesnt have iron audio in std mode .Im wondering if Im reading it right or if mine has a fault. Also doesnt save any changes made in custom mode in either std or pro modes.

iron audio in std mode
- Thread starter vanner

In standard mode, in order to have the iron audio working, you must have the "IRON AUDIO" icon NOT showing on the screen and the "IRON DISC" set at a lower number, preferably "00".
Try these settings and see if it helps.

I am struggling a bit with this machine too, and after some more air testing and an email I now stand corrected. I was using a bottle cap to establish an iron tone. NO CAN DO. You need a nail or bolt, which will give you an iron tone. So, in standard mode, go to zero mode with iron disc. set to "00" , iron audio mode turned off. Now run that iron bolt or nail over the coil. You get that low audio iron tone. Check to see where the iron target reads numerically. Now adjust the iron discrimination from zero to just above the value to disc it out. In my case, my bolt read as 32. I set my iron discrimination to 35. Now when I run the bolt over the coil there is silence, unless I now enable the IRON AUDIO MODE, in which case I can now hear it. This can be used when hunting, say in custom or coins mode where you have already discriminated out iron to your own chosen conductivity number. You can now hunt with the IRON AUDIO MODE turned off, and should you encounter an iffy signal, you now enable the IRON AUDIO MODE, see if in fact the signal turns out to be iron, or if not, dig it (refer to manual pgs 27-29). You can also flip over to PRO MODE and utilize the tone roll audio (pg.18 in the manual). I hope this clarifies that a bit.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Thanks for the info John. Getting a handle on this machine now and finding it to be an really neat detector. I prefer pro mode as probably a lot of us will,but finding that even in std mode it has some neat quirks,like backing the detector off a bit while in iron audio , and just using the front edge of the detector ,this really seems to make the iron content clearer on ify targets. Have been detecting a very trashy and mineralized site over here in Auz and have found it to be a sensitive machine even with the sensitivity quite low
