Sensitivity in QuickMask...Where is it?

[grumpyolman]

Been playing with the ET and reading the manual. I have played a few times shifting between digital and QM to better verify a target. I noticed the depth gauge of the target still shows on the QM screen but there is not a sensitivity level apparent in the screen. Where is it? Does it stay the same, automatic vs. manual and number, as was in the digital screen before switching? What happens if you only hunt in QuickMask? You know how deep the target is but I can't find out how you know what the sensitivity level is. What did I miss folks? Jim

The Auto Sensitivity level still goes up and down as needed even when in the QM Screen.

What does it do if you are operating in manual? And how did you learn this? Not casting dispersions just wondering where you found the info. Jim

In Manual it stays where you set it. In Auto it changes as the detector deems necessary. I found this out because I have been hunting in Beach Mode with my own mods to the settings but using the QM screen for my disc pattern. However I do not combine the QM Pattern with the Beach Pattern. That way I can quickly double check the ID of signals by switching back and forth between the two patterns. The first day I tried this method I kept switching back and forth between the Beach Disc Pattern and the QM pattern for the very reason you are asking about. Since I couldn't see the Sensitivity setting when on the QM screen I wanted to know if the Sensitivity was still changing or if it was being locked to it's previous setting. But on several of these checks the Sensitivity was at a different level than it was when I entered the QM Pattern.
