TIDs are only a guide. They can vary for several reasons. Location, soil type, mineralization, moisture, depth etc.

I agree totally and to start with and sometimes even now this throws me off. I did my own air tests the other day and numbers were consistent and similar to LNF, however, i tested them over the different sensitivity settings so i could also guage depth and found after sens 16 you gained marginal depth while numbers started to run riot. I am now happy to run at 16 sens now and have more stable and consistent numbers.
