Something weird

I setup a program to run single frequency 22k with notches for nickels and zinc coins and above. So the only targets that should sound off would be the nickel zone and any coins from zinc penny and up. All the other TID numbers were rejected. I took the normalization off but I get no sound on the accepted targets. Almost like it is seeing the correct target ID and the target is showing up in the accepted area but its almost like its confused. With normalization off is this normal?
 
First I need some information. What notches did you assign for the accepted targets? With normalization the VDI shift to different VDI. Why did you take normalization off?
 
I assigned 55-60 for nickels and then numbers 80 and up for zinc pennies and above. I turned the normalization off thinking it would give me better target resolution on the low conductor side of things. I think it will help me id nickels better in the trashy parks with a ton of pull tabs, foil, etc.

Here is a short video to show you.

Man I wish I had a video camera. One picture is worth a thousand words. I never ran into this because I don't notch.
Only accepted targets will give an audible tone. You don't have the nickel accepted when you remove that little red notch. You will lose the tone when you notch out your nickels, but you are still getting a VDI only higher because the normalization is off..
 
Bill try this, accept all the +VDI but set the tones to zero for the ones you don't want to hear. That should get you VDI and sound for the nickels.
 
Ok, thanks. I was thinking if I wanted to fine tune my notch I will probably have to edit the regular VDI numbers (19-20) instead of the 56-57 it shows on the display.
