Signal Peak
Adjusting the pitch variation of
target signals.
You are more likely to hear a target signal when both the
volume and the tone of the target signal change upon
detection rather than the volume alone.
A target signal on the GPX Series is normally a two-tone signal.
A target signal which first falls in pitch and then rises
is normally a deep target. A 'rise and fall' of the pitch
characterises a small target.
The Signal Peak control sets the level of variance between the
high and low pitch of the signal.
A high Signal Peak setting
will increase the pitch variation
of the target signal. However,
in highly mineralised ground
this high variance of signal
may make the detector
appear noisy.

A low Signal Peak setting will
decrease the pitch variation so
target signals will sound more
monotone.
Note: People who suffer high
frequency hearing loss may
prefer to use a Signal Peak
setting of 10 or less.
