Howdy,
After toying with my recovery speed in a trashy spot, I came to understand the purpose of discrimination and "notching out" a lot of signals. of course I'm on an equinox but the recovery speed made a lot of difference in this enlightenment. I basically turned up my recovery speed (to 7), drastically increased my swing rate (there-and-back swing of <1sec) to find the multiple target signals literally pop out.
From this the light bulb went on with the value that notching out could provide, yet I seemed to need a fast swing rate to get the multiple signals revealed (at higher recovery setting). I think I found that with low recovery settings (2-3) the typical 2 second there-and-back swing rate worked best. high settings required fast swings.
I still don't understand recovery speed and I'm mystified with what I found from the source, the horses mouth...
"A higher recovery speed allows you a faster swing rate with less likelyhood of missing a target.
A lower recovery speed for the same swing rate will increase depth but decrease target separation."

SO ... recovery speed is proportional with swing rate! right? higher swing rate must be accompanied by higher recovery speed maybe?
Which is what setting on an analogous 1-8 second/time scale? is a high recovery speed a high setting at 8 (say 8 recoveries in a second)? is a low recovery setting of 1 a faster recovery speed (1/8 of a second versus 7/8 of second)?
AND how fast is a correct swing rate for each recovery setting/rate/speed ?
