Sunday will be the first outing for my old mans new rig. Can any of you give me a little info on using the L-X18. Neither of us have even read through the manual yet... Any general set-up suggestions?

Thanks,
MJB

if you want to use it to the fullest...read the directions first, then operate it with all the settings in AUTO first, then move settings into Manual while reading the manual......By taking people's advise here on sensitivity settings and etc, without reading the Manual, you're asking for disaster because the unit is going to remember what you did to it and unless you go back and reset it to DEFAULT settings, you're stuck.

Best bet is to know exactly what the unit will do when you change things, the only way to do that is to read the directions. You know how many guys buy these things at over 1000.00 and never bother to open tha manual??? Tons. You know who has to straighten out thier mess when they come back to the store to figure out why the unit does'nt work???
