F-75 ??

Tom,

How well does the F-75 do using 2 tones and the PF mode for seeing non-ferrous colocated with iron? Is the audio quick enough to come close to the performance of single tone PF mode on the T2? The reason I ask is that while I liked the 2 tone audio of the T2 its performance in iron does not compare to PF mode.

Tom,

The Time Domain/Recovery Clock-Speed/Clock-Freq of the microprocessor on the T-2 & F-75 are identical. ... And I have found myself locked into the 'PF' mode on the F-75 for inland hunting (especially Fe infested dirt). A entirely different set (SET 2) of operating parameters are required with F-75 in 'JE' mode. Different Disc & Sens settings in particular. SET 1 = 'bc', 'de', 'pf' operate fairly similar..... with sub-set 'bc' mode presenting the greatest difference out of the three,, within SET 1. I'll nearly never use 'bc' mode..... as it induces too much masking back into the equation; hence, defeating the F-75's #1 highlight.

Not sure what you mean about single tone 'PF' mode on T-2. It does not have this tool-set/software.

If you need to perform maximum unmasking abilities..... monotone is a requirement.

I guess I could have phrased that better Tom. I was just wanting your take on using PF mode with 2 tones (low tone iron, high tone non-ferrous) on the F-75 compared to the T2 in PF or 2F. However you did answer my question with your last sentence.

Thanks

Tom

Silly question; Does your T-2 have a 'PF' mode?

Tom

I used the T2 for a little over a month and really like the plowed field mode, most of the time that is. However there are times when I am just not in the mood to listen to all the partial iron sounds (disc 21) then I would switch to the 2 tone mode and just listen for the high tone. The only thing is, the 2 tone mode definitely misses some non-ferrous co-located targets. Hence my question about the F-75's ability to see in iron when running in PF mode with 2 tones enabled as it is my understanding that can be done on with the F-75.. correct?

If you want to refer to single tone audio as mono-tone, that fine by me. We are talking 2 different languages it appears.

Can you hear me know?

Tom.

My bad, Tom. My bad. I forgot that I'm still using a proto T-2..... and it does NOT have 'PF' mode. I'm not sure which T-2 Rev incorporated the 'PF' mode. In fact, I don't remember any T-2's having 'process modes'. I surmise to say that the 'PF' mode on T-2 & F-75 operate in the same fasion; however, F-75 is more powerful. This is also to say that 2-tone operation on F-75 & T-2 should be identical......except, once again, F-75 is more powerful. Same holds true with monotone operation option.

Tom

me not getting my point across. LOL

Tom if you would please put the 75 in PF mode and try it with 2 tones enabled if that is possible with it. I really would like to know if its better than the T2's 2 tone (not plowed field) mode for unmasking co-located targets.

Maybe I should just get another T2 and see if Dave would cut back a little on the iron handling in 2 tone mode. Yeah right!

Tom

Got it. Understand now. And have already performed this test in the real world/real dirt many times...... and also on the (unfair/unrealistic) bench many times. Results;
With T-2 max'd out and 2-tone...... and F-75 in 2-tone, 'PF' and Sens of '82' (this is equiv to T-2's max Sens capabilities.... must compare apples-to-apples),,,,, the resultant is identical. Now........... that being said,,,,,,,,,,, boosting the F-75 Sens into the 90's.... a very non-linear performance gain is ascertained... and the F-75 (in the real world) will then find a greater (disproportionate) amount of non-Fe items in nail-infested sites well beyond the T-2 capabilities (read = limitations). BUT..... invoking "monotone" on F-75,,,,, and yet another level of performance is ascertained. Ear training required.

Tom

I appreciate the info very much!
