RX gain probe= no recommendation?

[ronpa1]

Im using the 5.3 eclipse coil, changed it in the expert menu so I tried the probe in the sensitivity section, I get the signal and noise percentage but no recommendation as to the rx gain? None ...Still having problems with long fade, if the coil is bad would it cause these small idiosyncrasies? Thanks Ron

Just did the coil test as mentioned above by Larry, coil seems good. Still no recommendation on rx gain??

Turn up RX till it gets unstable---then back down 2 or 3 #.

No neil its suposedly new V3i...Thanks For responding, as for the fiberglass lower rod........... to me it seems alum ????

This feature was discontinued. As far as the lower rod, simply disconnect it from the coil and the detector, and wave it in front of the coil. If it was aluminum you will know it. As far as I know, all of White's rods are black, but just give White's a call at 1-541-367-6121. They can tell you for sure.

I helped in the V3i prototype testing. We decided that too many people were screwing up its use. All it did was try to keep your signal reading at 10% which wasn't the optimum way to run the V anyway. None of us were using the feature so it was eliminated. Just run your V as hot as you want while keeping it stable. Rob
