cut off the bottom of the oem screen protector and installed that piece then cut out and installed ascreen protector over the entire face. Also added a couple decals to mark it.

I'm going to introduce the Equinox to the bigger more powerful CTX 3030...maybe they can get to know each other and perhaps become close personal friends. The CTX can tell the equinox some of his  secrets to finding treasure...kinda like a debriefing of sorts. It can educate it on stable target ID at depth for example. Then  he can show her some of the treasures he has found over the years. Perhaps the Equinox will be impressed? Maybe they can go on a hunt together? and then really get to know each other? I'll even wish a bit more and maybe they can really get to know each other and  Minelab can produce some  CTXInoxes?

your ctx will probably wet himself knowing he will no longer be your favorite detector after you use the nox

now we need him to fire it up and show some video?

just saw on another forum the first one made its way to its new owner.

nah, mine is enroute from distributor to my dealer and then it is coming from him to me. The big issue is most dealers are only receiving 1-2 units. My dealer for instance only received 1.

 

 

Well none of the top dealers in the USA say anything about arriving shipments. The detectors will be shipped 1st ordered 1st served. The only dealer that has anything even mentioning shipments is BigBoysHobbies and all Bart says is Minelab has begun shipments. All their websites say pre order. 

Cabela's is the largest dealer in the USA and their website says Ships directly from manufacturer.
Please allow 4 to 7 business days for delivery.

I am willing to bet that every dealer in the USA also ships directly from manufacturer.

You get it when you get it.. 

mine is enroute to my dealer and should be to me middle/end of next week. I was #1

Mine is on its way!!

I have had mine paid for since may 2017, i originally paid for an atmax preorder but switched it over to the nox the first day it got talked about on the forums.. My dealer is a good guy and I still have t heard anything so I would guess his distributor hasnt confirmed anything with him. 

I am #1 on my dealers list and I still havent heard anything.... bet you guys are excited!

you nailed it!   I sold off my racer and racer2 to pay for the nox and I dont get out as much as i was so I am past the point of owning multiple machines. I am hoping the nox offers most everything I hope for and its going to be my only machine.

I had paid for an atmax preorder with my dealer way back in june, long story short, the equinox buzz started before the max released. I just had a gut feeling about the nox so i talked to my dealer and asked if it was ok to switch my money over to an early preorder of the nox. Glad I did it,  I am first from my dealer so I will hopefully have mine to play with soon..

my wallet just closed back up....lol

I for one am anxious to see it Tom. I hope its not an april fools joke though. I saw on facebook that whites replied to a guy saying its waterproof so thats a  plus right off the bat. My wallet is open and ready...

I just tested the updated Mx Sport, and am extremely happy with the results! The recovery speed is very good. I was running it against my F75 Ltd, and it could hang with it! I've been through every mode, in ground testing, air testing, and I can't find a thing wrong with It. It's a superb performer and value at this price point and beyond. I could play a song with this thing in 20 tone mode, it's good. I've had coins extremely close together and it will pick them out at a very brisk sweep speed. This update is a real game changer for this unit in my opinion! If you've seen my channel, you know that I've used and reviewed many units. This version is very good. I feel confident that I could hunt with anyone without a worry. I just pulled a large cent out of extreme trash with this unit. I'm very satisfied with the results of the changes Whites has made. Remember that there have been growing pains with units from many manufacturers. Faulty coils, no cam locks, pinpoint bugs. All sorts of issues from different companies. I give Whites a great deal of credit for jumping on this quickly, and fixing it! Top quality company that stands behind their products. 

did you already receive the machine you bought and sent in for the update or are you a tester and whites sent you an updated machine to try?

Just a few updates before the rest of the crew rolls into the office this morning. I got to test both the lil D and the 10" D with the updated firmware last night. Will take it out this weekend to an old barn/homesite that I call "NAIL CITY." We still need to test it as it might be too fast for some people (i.e. newbies) and speed can sometimes kill depth. With the feedback on depth we've been getting from customers, we don't want to sacrifice the MX Sport's depth since it's really good right now.

Mini DD - Speed is excellent, recovery time in coin/jewelry mode is unfair. I can't swing the detector fast enough to get any smearing with coins placed 2" apart. And I was whipping that thing over 7 coins with 7 tones singing out.

10" DD- Speed is good, not as fast as the mini but that is to be expected. Target separation is much improved but not as fast as the smaller coil. Still way better than before. If you hunt trashy areas you are likely going to use a smaller coil anyways, so for general purpose hunting it's awesome, though maybe a tad too fast for some.

Somebody mentioned a recall. I don't speak for the whole company here, like I said, I'm just a regular Joe who works at White's and loves the hobby. We've gotten overwhelmingly positive feedback from people who've bought the MX Sport. Maybe it's the way they use it, or where they hunt, but the theme of the feedback has been that the MX Sport "locks on to deep coins." Which could be the source of what a few of you in this thread have a problem with. I'm not sure why we would rip it out of their hands if most people who bought an MX Sport are happy with what they have and are experiencing success on their hunts.

People who only use the MX Sport in trashy areas are going to want their firmware updated and a smaller coil. That's a given. But if a company contacted me and said "GIVE US YOUR MACHINE BACK, SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT!" when I was happy with that machine...? I'd tell them they can pry it from my cold dead hands. I think a better option is a lot simpler. You aren't happy with it? Send it back. We'll take care of it for you. But I'll run this by my bosses either today or Monday when we have our meeting.

Either way, it's YOU, the customers who are most important. That's why I'm here.

ok, maybe a public statement from whites giving everyone the OPTION of returning their units for the update would be in order? It could be posted on all the forums for all to see and have that choice. I wouldnt think of buying a machine that wasnt updated personally. What about all the current stock at dealers/distributors? Is that going to be allowed to just go ahead and enter the market?

I guess the biggest question is who is going to be footing the bill for shipping back to whites if they arent happy with their unit?

Good on you Steve. Thanks for being HONEST with your findings and also for not keeping it quiet.  You bought the machine with your hard earned money(as did many others I assume) and yet I read here you being told you should have went to them directly instead of posting it. I am sorry, that just really irks me. 

There should be a total recall. what about the units sitting at dealers, etc? If its programming then every machine would have to be affected I would think. Surely you wouldnt leave people out there to find out on their own that they have a defective machine..

thanks you guys!!!

longtime lurker, first time poster here.

thanks for the info Steve. I cant wait for it to get here. I have had mine preordered for a bit now.
