Calibrate both bands. Check Above Ground Range. Optimize and Measure Active Interference Transmitter selection With the transmitter off, select from the Main Frequency Optimization menu, then...
  • Page 3 - 3 - Your receiver can only detect active interference, not passive interference. Lower frequency bands tend to perform well despite passive interference. Middle bands can perform better in deeper bores and may have longer Target Steering capability. High bands have slightly less signal strength but tend to offer better performance around active interference such as power lines.
