UKD2User Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Mainly to support the new Extrem 2 box device but also supposed to improve sensitivity in gold mode and a couple of other improvements. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Hmmm, and just when I was getting really comfortable with V1.1... I think I'll wait this one out for a while. ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 @Jeff McClendon LOOK!!!! It might be time I get a Deus 2 after all, please let me know how it goes. Other Improvements introduced with V2.0: Gold field program: Increased Sensitivity to small targets (low conductors). Equalizer now functions with the Bone Conduction headphones. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Coaching at a high school golf tournament right now Simon. I will definitely let you know when I have a chance to check out the new Deus ll version 2.0 software. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely let you know when I have a chance to check out the new Deus ll version 2.0 software. I too am interested in what you find with 2.0, Jeff. I likely won't update unless Jeff sees a significant sensitivity improvement because I am not excited about reprogramming my remote and also am not planning on getting the Xtereme Hunter. Furthermore, enthusiasm still needs to be tempered, because unless this update makes the D2 9" round coil outperform the Deus 1 5x9.5" elliptical in micro gold sensitivity (a big ask), you are still limited in micro-target sensitivity by the field generated by the D2's 9" round coil footprint. I also have my doubts that they can significantly improve on micro gold sensitivity without either: 1) going to a higher max multifrequency frequency (FMF) (i.e., greater than 40 khz) on Goldfield; (2) adding high mono-frequency capability to Goldfield; or both. Not clear either of those modifications to Goldfield features are included in this update. But I absolutely have no problem being proven wrong on this and am glad XP is acknowledging and continuing to address this area where D2's performance is coming up short. It's also worth noting that ML is able to outperform XP on small gold with the Nox operating at 40 khz Max FMF (at least we think its 40 khz, ML has never publicly specified their Max Multi-IQ frequencies). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenson Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Yea I'm holding off on the update. Really don't care about small gold sensitivity on the D2, nor do I plan on getting the 2 box system. I'm happy with 1.1, it's doing great so why chance an update that could change a good thing.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew - agree. Rollback is fine except that XP makes you lose all your customizations in the process. One thing that would be great would be a means to be able to effortlessly save your customizations offline or onto a phone app interface so that they can be less tediously restored following an update. Something I've wanted since the first major update to the Deus 1. I can always dream... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I was able to do the version 2.0 update and a quick air test using the same targets that I used in this test documented here: I tested software version 2.0 using Goldfield FMF with Disc IAR on 0, Notch Off, Sensitivity 95, high frequency limit 40.4 kHz, iron volume 7, reactivity 2, audio response 3, threshold 0, using high square tones. The results I got are in the second column on the chart shown below. The first column shows the original Goldfield FMF version 0.71 results using the same settings (except just Square Wave audio) with the same 9" coil. Thanks XP!!!!!!!!!!! That is Steve H. with the Axiom on the back cover of a recent magazine mentioned in another post elsewhere on this forum. If it wasn't for Steve and this forum, I wouldn't know squat and would still be using an AT Gold and maybe a GP 3000. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 That's very respectable results, especially with the coil limitations, well done XP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
