CTX3030 Ground balance.

Hi,

If I enable the ground balance on the CTX does this work the same way as the E-Trac in that it continually tracks and adjusts to ground conditions?

Cheers for any info.

Other way round mate. You want GB disabled.... GB Enable off

So untick the GB box and it'll run auto ground balance and tick the box if I want to perform a manual ground balance?

Not used ground balance (left it off) - I did read on another thread that the only time you would try it is if you were on auto sensitivity and the machine was going below 14 - showing it was stuggling to cancel background....

From the manual

Ground Balance (GB) allows you to easily adjust the detector to suit detecting in
highly mineralized ground. In these conditions, correctly adjusted Ground Balance
will help to find deeper targets that might be hidden by ground noise, as well as
helping to stabilize target IDs. Ground Balance is best used in conjunction with
Coin-Ground Target Separation.

Ground Balance should not be enabled in most detecting conditions where ground
mineralization is mild. This includes most beaches, parks and sports grounds.
