Judging by the above reply it appears you are experiencing the whispers while using and w/o using ground notch. And they are happening in Manual GB and Tracking GB? Is this correct? I belive your problem is Ground Balance related. Give us a little more on the conditions of the site.
Is there a lot of trash/iron? Is the ground naturally mild or hot? I too have a good amount of time on the Deus and many years solely using a F75. I can run the chattiest of machines and pick out the targets from the chatter, and understand what your talking about. But falsing like you're describing comes from either deep targets, just below fringe depth, or improper GB.
I was hunting a CW camp last weekend which I've pounded for years and the targets are deep. I got a whisper signal like you're talking about, just good enough to investigate. Dug down about a ft, and it was still there. Now if I'd been hunting a spot with very hot ground I would've chalked it up to a hot rock or crappy ground, but I decided to keep digging. Another ft down and it started screaming at me in the high 80s. When I finally picked it up with the pinpointer, another couple inches revealed some rust at the bottom of the hole. It was a hatchet head straight down in the hole. I was impressed and disappointed at the same time.
Try notching like I said above at 97-99. It could be you're picking up large deep iron, which the deus loves. I want to hear iron also, but want to eliminate most crap. But really I think your GB needs to be spot on at your spot. Try pumping to get a number, then set to tracking unless there's a lot of trash. Watch the GB number as it changes to get a feel for how often the ground spikes. Try to keep tabs on the GB number and keep it as close to your original number as possible.
Keep us posted on how the tips work out.
