TRX sensitivity settings

Hope you don't mind me sharing this info here. I found it on another site. I also done a quick video showing how to do the first option.

TRX settings
Below are some helpful points that may not be in the user manual of the TRX. These came from the Whites Forum.

There is a sensitivity control on the TRX. Here are the general settings for sensitivity - the default is 3. Intended to be about 3.5". Sensitivity 1 = Bullseye II depth (about 1"), sensitivity 2 = Garrett ProPointer depth (about 2"), sensitivity 4 = around 4-4.5" - and it is likely to false on this setting, but some areas may be able to use it. It's not in the manual obviously. But here is how to get there:
First option:
1) Go into config (press and hold the button through the power down beep until you get to the taDAH beep for config).
2) Release and repress the button. Hold the button for 5 seconds. The indicators will indicate your sensitivity setting. The first set of beeps will indicate your current sensitivity setting (you should hear 3 beeps for the default sensitivity being 3). The next set of beeps will be the next one (4 beeps for sens 4), the next will be the next one (wrap around to 1 beep for sens 1). Release the button at the sensitivity level you want to be at. Might help you out in the tot lots.

-OR-

Control Priority:

If you find yourself wanting to change sensitivity more than once and you want it on the "main menu" without that 5 second delay, there is a test mode which all it does is move the "menus" around.
1) Go to config mode
2) Release the button and then press and release 3 times.
3) Wait for config exit - you should get a dadadaDAH jingle.
Now your menus are switched around unless you do a factory reset (more later)
4) Go to config mode
5) Keep holding the button down - the sensitivity is the first menu rather than the indicators. release the button when you get to the sensitivity you want.


In this mode, the first menu is sensitivity. 2nd menu (release button after config and press and hold) is the indicator adjust. 3rd menu (release button after config, press and release once and press and hold) is audio adjust. This adjusts the frequency of your audio - so if you hear a lower frequency better than the one that the pinpointer is set to, you can find one that might be better. It has a very limited range, so it's possible that there won't be any difference.

Factory Reset:

If you want to put it back to the menu system that it came with, you can do a factory reset. This will reset everything - except the audio frequency - back to how it came from the factory. Go to config, release and press the button 6 times.

Don't mind you sharing but I think credit goes to Anne, AK_1234 from White's for the undocumented info. Thanks Anne :thumbup:
 
Yep, now that it is out give credit where it is due. It wasn't found by accident.

IMHO leave the idicator menu second. You will probably only use it once. Make the sensitivity menu first. It's the one you will adjust to conditions and is how it was on the prototypes.

Mine has been found :thumbup: and I will get it some time tomorrow. Looks like it will leave me one experiment to conduct.:cool:

Glad you got yours Larry.
 
I feel inadequate - the TRX is smarter than me.... Cool features! I set mine on 4 sensitivity and when it falsed I just pushed the button once (ratchet) and it clears right up.
 
Some people will be able to use level 4. I find it just a tad too sensitive and 3 (default) works best for me. I still get 4 inches and that is plenty of depth for me. The ratchet feature is great but I don't think I will be using it much when I acually get out to hunt, the same affect can be achieved by pulling the pinpointer back from the target somewhat. The beep rate slows down the further away from the target it is so you will quickly learn how deep in the ground the target still is by how fast it beeps or vibrates.

There is no doubt in my mind White's has set the bar for all other manufactures in what makes a great pinpointer.
 
I agree. It's nice that we can all set the TRX up just the way we like. We will now have to see what other companies come up with? Who will top who? Either way we as users win. The only thing I can think of in a new design is a 2 tone ferrous and non-ferrous model. Waterproof as well.
 
Mine is in the mail. Cant wait to get it tomorrow. Ive always used the pistol probe, with great depth and accuracy. But I thought I better get something to tinker with while were still frozen here in West Michigan!
 
I only have one criticism ..That the grip area should be textured.. Easily solved with some vet tape.. Other than that great !! Plays well with my CTX.. Can't wait till I don't need explosives to dig !!!
 
This thing is really weatherproof. JMHO :thumbup:
 
Seems to me that its a great pp. Very deep and super easy to detune. Im very happy with purchase with nothing but air tests under my belt. Cant wait to get this baby dirty. But that seems to be an eternity away here in michigan.
