Is my Tek G2+ working correctly?

all metal ID on g2 is ground phase. notch on ID arc is only id in all metal. all metal is a lot deeper than disc. dime should be areound 83 on id.

So, my G2+ seems defective? Guess I need to contact First Texas? It almost seems like a case of reverse wiring, with all metal having less depth, but much better ID.

George, hang on...

I don't think you understood what detectingMO said to you.

If indeed you are in all-metal mode, then the numbers on the screen are NOT ID numbers, at all. The numbers are ground phase. The only "ID" readout you get in all-metal mode, is the "dial" around the top of the screen. It is only when you are in disc. mode where the number on the screen is a target ID number.

I can't imagine that your machine is "backwards," such that you are putting it in all-metal mode with the controls, but it's actually going into "disc" mode, and vice versa.

Are you SURE you are not thinking that you are in "all-metal mode," but are actually in disc. mode, and vice versa?

Do this...turn the machine on, and then turn the knob on the right-hand side of the machine all the way counter-clockwise until it clicks. NOW you are in disc. mode -- the white line on the knob should be pointing downward, six-o'clock position. Now, begin to turn the knob clockwise, and it will immediately "click" into all-metal mode; turn it back counter-clockwise until it "clicks," again, with the line pointing downward, six-o'clock, and you are back in disc. mode. Right?

If you already know this, please forgive me, but I have a feeling you might be doing things backward...

Very sorry, all. I was totally mixed up. One doesn't try to vary disc in all metal but the right knob has range in all metal but not in disc. Guess I shouldn't try to figure out so many detectors at once, especially when my eyeglasses have damage. It's just I'm in a hurry to try, so I can decide what to keep/sell ASAP.

Glad you got it figgered out, George!
