Thanks badgers for calling me to the board. First point is the coil. If you have standard 11" coil ctx is like the average machine but with 17" is the deep beast. Better than sov, little bit deeper in my opinion and defo better on separation targets close to big iron, second - DO NOT USE ground balance, turn it off, use only noise cancel. Set up with coil few inches above ground surface. This is two basic rules rest is just "cosmetics".

I'm assuming that would be similar for the ETRAC?
