Страница 15: ...o response is high for all targets In cases where you have determined that you definitely need only one of the conductivity modes and not the other you will often find that switching to that mode reduces the amount of audio noise chatter and allows you to run a higher gain To better illustrate this let s use a strictly inaccurate but useful dia gram The following is a representation of the audio r...
