I tend to prefer running manual in the 26ish range rather than auto. Good luck at those sites.

You should do well with those settings. Just a few suggestions. I would experiment with the volume gain set at from 27 through 29. When seeking very deep targets I would try setting the Response to long. That setting takes some getting used to, but it does work well. And like Randy suggested, use manual sensitivity whenever possible, having it no lower than 26. Experiment with a higher sensitivity at your sites, possibly having it at 28. Since achieving great depth at extremely trashy sites isn't the primary challenge, I would initially set the sensitivity at 24 when working such locations.

Thank you I will make those changes and give it a try Saturday.
