Title: Looking for some etrac programs
Post by: Zeus (Joel) on September 13, 2013, 02:56:04 PM
As many if you know I've just recently got an etrac and now I'm looking for some good program's other than the stock ones.

If you have any that you'd like to share PM me and I will forward my email.

I've just gone to MLO but my post count isn't high enough yet to download any of them :)

Ive been using the wide open Relic Screen with the bottom right hand corner blacked out and it works fine on the farm I'm working
But Im not using the standard coil. Im using the 12X10 coil.

The MLO seems to be a bit of a private club for friends.

I'm not using the standard coil either, I'm using the 13" Ultimate and seems to be great so far

Mals is a very good program but it's designed for speed not sensitivity, with any FBS you shouldn't need to alter anything from land to salt wet beach other than sensitivity and possibly audio gain.

I use the open screen with the bottom right hand corner blanked out just for the 100% junk.
I also use conductive as I find it gives a better signal and only 4 tones. The multi tones I find useless.

You will miss things with both 2 and 4 tones, I have tested them on "iffy" signals on a few occasions and can guarantee it especially with targets close to iron.

My Philosophy is, if I dont get them this year, I'll get them next. I'm never that desperate for finds and dont usually dig any deeper than about 5 inches.

Detecting for me is as much being out in the countryside with its sights and sounds as it is for detecting.
Thats why I never wear headphones.
