MXT Pro and Mixed Mode?

Mixed mode is such a fundamental part of how the machine works, it seems unlikely to me they would remove it - it would be a completely different machine. Jeff Foster's book "MXT Edge" does talk about the mixed mode and while he lists the changes made going into the Pro, he makes no mention of mixed mode being eliminated.

I have both machines. On the MXT PRO, there are 2 audio settings in Relict Mode that give you "mixed mode" audio.
Tone 2 - (Same as Classic MXT/MXT300 relic Mode - trigger in centre position) This gives you 2 tones based on your DISC setting. Anything rejected is a low tone, and anything accepted is a high tone. Same as the Mixed Mode in the MXT/MXT 300 Manual. You will hear every target from -95 - +95 VDI
Iron ID - (Same as Classic MXT/MXT300 relic Mode - Trigger forward - Disc turned to "0") This will also give you 2 tones, but the DISC setting is disabled. All negative VDI numbers (All Iron) give you a low tone and all positive VDI numbers (All non-iron) give you the high tone.
The next is the basic discrimination Mode.
Tone 1 - (Same as Classic MXT/MXT300 relic Mode - Trigger forward - Disc not set to zero) Anything rejected gives no audio tone and everything accepted gives either a low tone (if iron is still in accepted range) or high tone if it is non-iron.
Tone 2 - (Same as Classic MXT/MXT300 relic Mode - trigger in centre position) This gives you 2 tones based on your DISC setting. Anything rejected is a low tone, and anything accepted is a high tone. Same as the Mixed Mode in the MXT/MXT 300 Manual. You will hear every target from -95 - +95 VDI
Iron ID - (Same as Classic MXT/MXT300 relic Mode - Trigger forward - Disc turned to "0") This will also give you 2 tones, but the DISC setting is disabled. All negative VDI numbers (All Iron) give you a low tone and all positive VDI numbers (All non-iron) give you the high tone.

I think you will find that the Mix Mode Audio Give you 3 Tones or Types of signal 1) Low tone being Iron or discriminated object, 2) High Tone as In Wanted Items, 3) and the Third Tone which is the Rise or Disturbance of the Threshold which indicate That there Is A Deeper Target Beyond the Reach of the Discrimination Because it is Very Deep,
If you Learn to use this Third Tone ID then You Can Add up to 45% more Depth past the point where the Detector stops Bleeping on A Target Depending on the Target Type and the Coil That Is Used, IE on A Zippo Lighter it bleeps around 18 inches but the Third Tone can Signal up to 26 to 29 inches, Learn to use it and you will be digging Some Serious Holes,
Good Luck
