Update. I tried out my new TROND BT-RX S Bluetooth receiver today. It worked well and synced up using aptX LL. It was even smaller than expected, about half the size of a Zippo lighter. My only complaint was difficulty adjusting to a comfortable volume with two volume controls, most of the time it was too loud.

After 3 hours on the beach I switched to the WM 08 with my new frontside paracord necklace and it worked out great!!! With only one volume control on the EQX it was easy to set a comfortable volume. No dropouts!

I kinda feel like a dummy as the EQX manual directly addressed my original problem. I guess that's the problem with making a really user friendly device, some people just don't RTFM (read the frickin' manual)...

"Attach the WM 08 to the same side of your body as the detector to ensure the most reliable wireless signal."

I'll probably stick with the WM 08 now, with better battery life and lower latency. I'm sure I'll find a good home for the TROND around my shack.

I wonder if your trond  bt unit was faulty ? I am using the same setup with some standard earbuds , as the wm08 unit with earbuds didn't give me quite enough volume .Anyway  with the equinox set at full volume I had no trouble altering the volume on the trond unit from very loud to nothing...  very impressed

I picked up a Deteknix Wader from an online UK site for 109.00 Can funds last year.

It's a PI pinpointer and uses both aa and 9v batteries. Waterproof to 10 ft.

I see this as another case of US makers being slow to market. Deteknix even has lithium versions good to 200ft.

i had one and sold it ,  found it wouldnt pick up small foil and some people couldnt understand why i wanted to find small  foil ? to eliminate from my search of course !!!

i am assuing that the these two setting have some sort of correlation as do the silencer and reactivity speed on the deus ,  yet on the deus the reactivity setting takes precedence over the silencer and when you change the reactivity setting this automatically sets the appropiate silencer value.

This apparantley is to avoid the silencer being set where it could reduce the effectiveness of the reactivity setting.

I have now seen a few personal settings springing up on social media and forums but none seem to have any consistency regarding these two settings.
