Sweep speed and the 5KHz filter

Does any one no the optimum sweep speed for the 5KHz filter the manual says slow but gives no reference.
 
That will differ from one person to the next. Depends on your ground, program and settings you are using,and what depth you expect to get.
 
The manual on p. 23 states that a "normal" sweep rate is 2 seconds from left to right. I just tried to do a sweep in 2 seconds....that seems slow to me personally. I think my "normal" speed is more like 1-1 1/2 seconds. With that said, I'm now thinking the 10 Hz setting is best for me....with the exception of trashy searches.
 
I have experimented with the different filters and find that 5 Band gives me the best depth and less falsing. Surprisingly I can sweep at a good clip probably a complete arch in a little over 1.5 seconds, plenty fast for my style of hunting. My ground reads -90 my RX is 10, motion sens. 92, non motion sens.68. Boost off, I can also sweep very slow if I want and continue to git excellent depth.

On readings with the ground probe from ground tracking live control it would be nice to know the VDI #, phase readings, signal strength readings and what Rx gain you are using,
