Turning Off Tones

Anybody notice if the V3i runs just a little better by disabling the Tones. I am using the 0 Tone method of Discrimination. I was wondering if disabling the multi tone and just running one tone might just give the V3i just a little extra.


Along the same line of thinking I wonder if you could set the tone to the same tone as the Threshold to reduce the null effect as well.
 
I'd have to say NO to both.
 
I would have to agree with Rob. While running zero tone can increase the response of the V3i just running one tone would make no difference. You are still running a tone so from a machine viewpoint it has to make that tone and it does not care if it is one tone or twenty tones it has to take the time to reproduce the tone.
 
Thanks I tried it last night in the house and it was a little bit more pleasing to my ears, so I will have to try it in the field. Amazing that the V could do that without having to redo all the tones.
 
I wouldn't think narrowing the tones would do anything for the machine, but it probly surely helps you. I do it all the time. I simply pick whatever tone I want for certain targets, and that definitely helps the machine between my ears when I'm swinging through lots of trashy area. Sometimes there is so many noises I may miss that certain tone that I'm looking for. Good luck.
 
Report Back -- by turning off all Tones I lost all my Discrimination. For this to work I will have to rework all my tones by VDI and set them to the same tone. I am thinking set up 19VDi, 54 VDI, 60-78 VDI and 83 VDI with a good pleasing tone. Anything else can be iffy.
 
Just reload the factory program you altered.

I did not alter a Factory Program. I made one of my own where everything is accepted but each VDI has its own tone. I believe Rob and others say that the V3i works best using this method. Items you do not want are given 0 Tone. I like hunting like this found some good items but just not real pleased with my choice of tones.
 
I have and use a zero tone program. I started with a base factory program.

Just take one of the existing programs which is closest to the tone pattern you like.
Save it to a name you want to use.
Accept all VDIs and then zero tone the ranges you don't want to hear.
Resave your newly named program.
