Hello, I’m fairly new to the Nox 800. I’ve had pretty good success in the 6 months I’ve been hunting on my local beaches. I am a pretty OCD type person about things running efficient and working as designed. My question is also about GB on the Nox. I run in B2 mode wet and dry top to bottom. I pretty much do wet and rarely go in pact 3-6” inches of water due to our wind currents and swells. I have alway let the machine do the GB and gave for nice valuable targets, but my OCDness keep forcing me to want it to be better. Auto ground balanced my machine today and in my wet sand it crown balanced around three. A random machine on sensitivity of up to 22 without chatter. I also realize that most of my chatter was the hundreds of people around me from place to place, possibly with their cell phones so a pretty well dismissed it being machine related. After about an hour and a half, I turned off the machine and went back to default ground balance. I started getting more targets appearing, Which is because I was going to different spots on the low tide pools and not necessarily contributing the default ground balancing versus the auto ground balancing to my increase in targets. My question is, is it really necessary to ground balance on the beach or can I just settle for default ground balance of zero? I have searched high and low for information and also try to test the theory today and did not really see much difference. I would like some help and answers or suggestions please. Thanks
