lobo question

is the ground balance automatic in both modes and is switching coils a problem. does it have to be sent in to be calibrated with the new coil

 

[Les in the UK]

I have used the Lobo st with the 5.75, 10x5 and the 8x9 with no problems, but then i do live in the UK and we don't need the maximum depth that you guys like to try and find.
I was told to switch the detector to all metal and set it to zero disc and to pump the coil up and down a few times when i put a different search head on the lobo st but i don't know if it does any thing as when you switch the detector to discrimination mode it puts the detector to a factory set position.

The process of ground balancing the machine eliminates any coil issue. Just GB with each coil change.

If it is the original Lobo, your manual GB adjustment is tied in with both the All Metal and motion Discriminate modes. If you (or are asking) about the Lobo SuperTRAQ, the auto-tracking circuitry is only for the All Metal mode. The Disc. mode relies on a factory preset GB.


Usually, you do not have to send the LST in for any 'calibration' because the Disc. mode seems to adjust lower than most models and you can essentially 'compensate' or adjust top the annoying ground in the Disc. mode. You simply use the Disc. control and, if you have a false 'beep' at the minimum setting, slowly increase it just to the point where it remains stable w/o falsing. That's usually by about the

thanks i was referring to the lobo super TRAQ, but could you refresh my mind about the vaquero is the manual gb tied to both am and disc?
