[attachment 172529 DSCF5294.JPG] Better than nothing.The owner guide state silent search needs to be off for mixed mode to work properly,but i found with certain programs and mixed mode i can go in trashy areas and pick out targets people have missed such as today mixed mode still work correctly but with silent search a target has to be a little stronger to break through but you still get more depth and not all the noise,sometime it good to cruse silently .or quote a movie Run Silent Run Deep.
