Just showed up at my door yesterday after playing door tag game with the fed ex guy since Saturday! Just had enough time after work last night to put it together but that's about it.

So, for starter setting. I was thinking park 2, iron bias set to 2, sense backed off a little and 5 tones. Any insight from the equinox users I'm all ears! Can't wait to give it a spin!

If your previous machine was 3 tones, you might want to adjust the tone pitch and break to match your old machine as a custom profile, running only 3 tones.

It will make things a lot easier on your ears. Use some test targets to get it as close as possible.


Always noise cancel first with sensitivity turned down a bit.

Enjoy!

Thank you for the tips! I usually ran my f75 in 2 tones. Only since I'd almost always hit old fields or homesites and dig aby thing above iron.

Then set it up that way! This is the one feature I thought I'd never use but absolutely love.
