I can replicate the same thing with 0.7 and a 9 inch coil. I have 3 custom programs and the -6.4 discrim  program is in between the other two.  Now after power on and i'm in 'magic' mode I can go up to the next custom program then back down and the magic remains. Yet if I go down a custom program then back up it goes away.

So in -6.4:  If I + then - programs it remains.

If I - then + programs it goes away.

haking my head, and scratching my beard. why?? why can't we use any disc in full tones in any program? does anyone have any idea? can someone that is hooked up to XP ask for me/us? 

The manual is incorrect in the beach programs. It says beach discrimination -6.4--99 when in fact it is only 0.0--99.

Are you adjusting the descrim down to -6.8 on the other programs like the default of sensft?  If not, the iron tones aren’t audible 

 

edit..not necessarily to -6.8, but down to the small iron range. 

You can't go that low with the beach programs, they only go down to 0.0 for some reason. 

version 0.7 has been released FYI

Version 0.7 is up

How it effects some but not all.

Would having differing electronic components across different machines be the cause? Chip shortages may have forced a change in components/processor manufacturer. 

Just guessing here. 

It should be labelled ver 0.06b

A post from the UK distributor reads : "Over the next 2 months, there will be significant volume of Deus II coming to the UK this was confirmed by XP to me this Morning 16 March 2022"

This has come up on my FB feed. Its looks like XP are listening.  

edit: It looks like it is already in the current firmware. People are re-installling and the option is then present.

UK stock being sent from France this week. When they actually arrive in anybody's guess.

I wonder how it attaches to the coil?

Its just glued on.

Couldn’t they drive to France and pick one up? Just a hop skip thru the English Channel tunnel. 

Could do, It would probably be over £200 round trip though. 

I'd rather wait. 

There are still very few in the UK.The next UK delivery is in around a month I am led to believe. With a larger percentage of 9 inch coils.

They should add a stock program that starts wide open then you can add filters as required.

You are absolutely right, in that case SMF IS a necessity for salt handling and if D2 cannot handle the EMI in that case then it is a bad situation.  Have you actually encountered the EMI with the D2, or are you anticipating it based on your experience with other SMF detectors like the NOX?

Just from using a nox. I am on a waiting list for a D2. 

To be fair though Chase, the ferrous it is like a carpet of nails at this beach so depth is not really a problem. Now if the emi degrades separation performance, then the problem remains.

No need to keep trying to make SMF work or significantly reduce my detection capability by hanging on to SMF.

I will be detecting a beach with EMI most of the time, so I need the SMF to counter the salt. Catch 22 for my situation. I guess nobody else will be able to deal with it (emi) either so nobody will have an edge. It will be a competition of  who can tune it the best. 

I'm confusing myself here as well. What are you losing with a high setting?

I’m confused.  Which version is correct, the English or French?

French is correct.

This is a presumption as the manual was written orginally in French.  I may be completely wrong here.

Ok...I'm editing myself what I stated and I want to add something on it...

The only way to explain this filter in my mind is this:

considering low frequency, susceptible to emi and high frequency susceptible to ground, the salt sensitivity matches a lower frequency bias on 9 and an higher frequency bias on 1...

A crossed filter...

Feel free to throw rocks on me, but I swear this is the only reasonable way I have to figure it out.😂

Apparently the translation in the user manual is wrong. The English version says :

when using higher levels of SALT SENS, low conductive targets that register around TID 30 may also be slightly attenuated.

The French version says:

By reducing SALT SENS low conductors around TID 30 will also be somewhat attenuated.

Nice, I would put a rubber grommet in the hole as well.

I'm scared even more, cause I still wait for mine and now I can't wait to check.

By the way I tested an 11" unit and worked extremely well in my 4 hours with it...I loved it even if I'm not a wetsand guy.

I'm still on a waiting list for a 9". Coming from a nox, the tones of the deus fascinate me, I will probably get one anyway and find out for myself what it's capable of on my beach.

We will have to see if it is a hardware fault I guess.It's certainly not making my decision to buy one any easier.

Your disc is to high. Try 6.5-7. Also try 0 disc on those rings to see what they hit.

It's not my video Rick, Is that the type of range a broken ring would come in at? I'm not used to deus TID's.

Can anybody explain this issue here?
