Do I have to reset E-Trac when>>>>>

dumbdigger · Apr 7, 2016

I just got the SEF 12x10 coil for my E-Trac. When changing coils is a reset necessary? If so is the semi reset going to work? Or do I have to do a MASTER reset and reload my saved programs? Thanks

I will be interested to see what the experienced etrac owners answer! Im a new etrac owner this spring and have about 15 hours on it so far, I switch off between the 8x6 sef and Nel tornado ( the two coils that came with it, I bought it used) and I never reset anything...just swap out , turn on and go!! Maybe im doing it wrong? :?:

No..no reset necessary. I switch between coils constantly, with no problems whatsoever.

+1, I have never reset my machine when switching coils. I did do a master reset in the beginning as I'm the third owner of my Etrac, and after the reset it acted like a completely different machine! (I never did figure what they had changed or turned on or off???)

I have seven different coils and just switch out and go hunting ! I never ever do a reset unless something is radically wrong ( which hasn't happened yet, knock on wood) LOL

No reset is needed. This is a recurring question, so I'm curious WHY do you think you would need to perform a reset because you changed the coil?

Plug and play folks,, or should I say plug and HUNT!!!

nope.. I just got a new 6x8 installed it and went hunting! no reset necessary .

I have had an Etrac since they came out and have multiple coils for it. The only time I ever did a reset was when I first got it and did something really stupid. :lol:

Please don't ask me what cause I'm old and don't remember.

Nope!

Only reset if you make erroneous changes to the settings and don't remember what you changed.

Thanks guys. Sorry for the late reply. I did more searching and found Andy stating in a paragraph that he has NEVER reset his E-trac after a coil change. Just slap her on and get the goods.

Jason, I didnt reset the Trac after coil change nor did I actually think I had to.
Cant find it now but, remember last week someone on here saying never forget
to reset the machine after any coil change.

Went on a few hunts with the new coil. Then remembered that thread. So I started to wonder and asked is all. Thanks for the help.

I just noise cancel and go after switching coils. Some people dont even noise cancel and swear better results. No Reset required
