modded GP3000 settings

<< < (2/2)

Herb:
G'day Woody and all,
                               Is this start up process the same for the 4500 ? I had mine modded earlier this year and have only had a couple chances to use it since . Mine seems sensitive to ground mineralization and hot rocks! Stella depth when rx gain 1 stabiliser 1 new gain full, if I could get to run nicer on the hot ground over here in WA I'd use this setting all the time! Keep up the good work Herb

woody:
The 4500 is more advanced than the gp series and cannot lock up its own PLL as does the gp series.

Another thing is that I should be getting notifications on post on the forum but I do not get notified, if you do not get a response in a day send me an email
detectormods at gmail.com.

Rockwall:
A bit off topic now but I thought I would report events since my last post. I have been out a couple of times now & have found pieces from .5 gram to 5 grams with the modded 3000 & 17x11 advantage. No real depth to talk about. A few issues with hot rocks but seem to be getting on top of it better now. I have had comments from Z operators that the 3000 is exceeding what they expected. All in all I am happy with how it is going but am still learning, trial & error & time spent detecting is the key. How much improvement is there for the 3000 since December 2916 Woody?

woody:
It is good to hear that you are doing well with the mods, I am always working on mods, t the moment doing some experimental upgrades to the GPZ-7000 and see how it pans out. I have an article coming out in GGT in regards to detector technology. With the GP if it has variable frequency and variable gain it should be kicking goals for you. The latest is changing the components in the input stage to get lower losses and less noise.

Rockwall:
Ok, thanks. Yes you put the variable gain & variable frequency in mine. I guess it would help if you knew who you were talking to!! Makes it a bit hard when nick names are used!! It will probably be up to the minister for finance as to when I  can get more done.
Probaly next thing will be a coil upgrade. The 17x11 nf advantage has copped a fair bit in its life, I am second owner,  & is being held together by sikaflex but still seems to be working ok.
