Trailryder42 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hey all, As for the Garrett AT Pro, does anyone else not like the fact that the unit doesn't have a "tone only" mode? Find that it's a deal breaker for you? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find that it's a deal breaker for you? Thoughts? I have noticed. It's not a deal breaker mainly because with gloves and headphones on I barely feel the vibrate anyways. Add a little dirt in the speaker holes and you can't really tell there is a vibrate mode. I do feel it drains the battery more that I would like. I wish it was able to be disabled in some way though.

If in a place with people around I turn the tones off and just use the vibrate, I prefer to not stand out as much as possible. I assumed he was talking about the pin pointer and he was asking why he could not just use the tone only, as an option. It's not really a dislike of the vibrate mode, just the fact that you can't separate the two unless you only want the vibrate mode. I would love only the tone mode (alone).

Yeah, I've been looking at so much gear here lately, it's a jumbled mess in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldpick Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I barely notice the vibration after using the AT Propointer for a while now, the only real downside is that it may drain power a little quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 No, the lack of a "tone only" mode does not bother me since I would never use it. I only use vibration mode on my pinpointers, and for models where you can’t shut the speaker off I plug the speaker with glue like in the picture below. I wear headphones anyway and don’t like the pinpointer alerting people around me that I am recovering a target. The best thing I liked about the orange AT Pro Pointer is it let me shut the speaker off instead of plugging it. The F-Pulse also has a “vibrate only” mode that I prefer. 1.26 ounce nugget found with aid of Garrett Pro Pointer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailryder42 Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 The F-Pulse also has a tone only mode. I like the fact that you can run it with both tone and vibrate or each alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
