Vaquero Frequency selection

Herb Jones

New member
Could someone explain which frequency is most often used in the vaquero, and what the different uses is for each?
 
You should for most of the time run the freq switch in the middle position,you only use the switch either switching it too the left or right when very close to another machine on the same freq so they dont 'cross talk' as its called,in laymans terminology interference from another close detector that is all the freq switch is used for.
 
..also helps lessen EMI interference. One of the three frequencies is usually a little less sensitive to EMI than the others. If ever EMI is a problem, try it out.
 
Changing that frequency shifts the GB a little bit. Otherwise, i don't think it really matters at all.
 
They say that an easy way to go slightly negative on the GB (better depth) is to balance it with the frequency selector in the middle and switch over to the left.

It works! Kind of pointless on a detector with manual GB, but will get those without one a bit closer. It's particularly useful on a stock Cibola.
 
I like to GB in the #2 middle one and that way I can go a little positive or a little negative depending on what I'm doing or what is needed. Easier than re ground balancing for such a small change. Comes in handy from time to time.
