F350Platinum Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Gotta say I absolutely love full tones square audio. It's expressive as all get out, and indicates depth by amplitude. I tried pitch today for a while in my custom relic program, and it didn't take long for me to switch back. 😀 Probably the Equinox in me... 😎 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched to PWM audio in Pitch Tones for the my modified Silver Slayer and Deep HC programs to force myself to learn the nuances and differences from Square audio, and I have to say I like it. I also have a modified Fast program in Full Tones with PWM audio and I like that too. I was at an extremely trashy relic site the other day and was using SS Modded program with Pitch tones and Square audio but after a few hours it was beating my ears up, so I switched to my Fast Full Tones with PWM audio and it was much easier to listen to the constant barage of multiple non-ferrous targets tones under the coil. Lordy, where is that D2 10x5" coil when you need it? 😏 I will have to give Square Full Tones another go to see if I can jive with it. Maybe I can test Full Tones Square vs PWM audio the next trip back to Hell's Half Acre, where iron mixed with aluminum and lead is the soil. 😱 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he did not say sensitive. I was thinking full tones, pitch, 5,4,3,2 etc. At 0.20 seconds of the video Gary says "Oh just one note. I'm not using the default Full Tones mode, Sensitive FT. I'm using some of my own tweaks on this one......." after which the video shows the screen clearly and at the top is 3.H2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for pointing that out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I used the BH-1 headphones (the detector automatically switches to this mode when using them) shallow iron gave me quite a jolt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll dial that in from the test garden before I take it out in the wild. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used square FT yesterday with SS but quickly switched out of it. PWM, for me, gives more dynamic audio and nuance especially to aluminum targets and square seems to make iron audio and my MI6 pinpointer audio more muffled to my ear. But note that I also prefer pitch to FT (there are multiple reasons for this primarily having to do with how FT handles discrimination than with the audio). Bob and I both hunting together yesterday with significantly different D2 audio setups on similar programs with similar results. If you have to force yourself to use it, then that might be telling you something. That's why I say personal choice and the best thing is D2 gives you multiple audio options because our level of hearing is different as is the way our brains process the audio after we "train" them certain way. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 Copy that, Chase, thanks! I'm actually gelling well with PWM audio. The reason I said force myself to learn PWM is because coming from the Nox, Square audio was my comfort zone, but I do feel like I'm getting more info from the PWM squeaks and squawks the more I use it, and I want to learn everything I can about the D2 platform inside and out. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
