I don’t think I’d find much use for the fancy 2D screen, much preferring to rely on the audio tones instead.

Deus II WS6 Master and save yourself a grand.

Performance of these two machines is pretty much equal.

I can't let myself using a 42 tonebreak and Iron Volume below 10, because there is a big chance to miss all this subgram ancient, early medieval, medieval and so on,  micro tiny silver and gold coins and relics.

I'm audio guy, never looked ar target id, but FYI this stuff is hidding in 30-42 id range. Just right above coke. In Tekkna using Iron Volume below 10 is no go for me.

Unless:

-lower the disc to 28

-using another program as base

-using on clean, iron-free site

 

Have you actually tried it?
Whilst targets in a normal disc program may get dragged down Into the 30’s or 40’s,  Tekknna is not using disc, this setting in full tones is more of a threshold for the offset. 
I think it actually separates better because the target ID’s are being pushed into their respective tone bins rather than being averaged by disc.

Could they possibly be re-launching the V3i with updated software. 
That machine had a lot of potential but was never quite finished, the display was way ahead of its time.

Failing that a multifrequency MXT re-launch, now that would be a seriously good detector.

Has anyone noticed any depth loss with 2.0 compared with previous versions?

 

No actually the complete opposite, I’ve found v2.0 the deepest of all versions.

It says in the manual that there is program specific signal processing.

Also from v1.1 Sens FT uses a different silencer.

V1.1

Frequency Max & Square Hi Tones are game changers, couple this with the bug fixes and performance enhancements and revised silencer, you have a serious bit of kit. 

From a UK point of view I don’t think Garrett are up there in the top four.

The UK Fisher would be like C Scope, been around 40+ years but same old tech.

Its a shame Rutus don’t have stronger marketing as they are very good underrated detectors.

Can you please specifically describe the issue you are seeing. 

I have seen no anomalous behavior when using the the double-hot-key shortcut to switch between the big and the normal TID display and it does so without inadvertently activating the audio shortcut options.  The audio hot key properly enables volume control on all outputs and access to the equalizer without issue.  Similarly, the frequency scan hot key works without issue.

Fire the machine up in General program and start using, then press bottom left audio shortcut button and select equilizer, make a small change then use back keys to go back to detect screen, profile is now the horseshoe and not big numbers.

This was in v1.0, haven’t tried it in v1.1 yet.

😁To make it simple.  Go to the general program set the sound with equalizer with hotkeys and see the differences😁

Yes I see what you mean, I just replicated it.

In iron with D2, I obtained a good effect only with FAST... but I need to try also sensitive.

Fast and sensitive are the same FMF platform/frequency bands, the only difference is fast uses a less filtered audio.

There are clear differences between the Equinox 800 and Deus 2 for instance. Took less than an hour for me to sort that out.

Care to elaborate please?

and is why I have long recommended waiting a minimum of 6 months before buying any new detector model.

If we all did that then there would never be any feedback or updates to machines, I would rather be on the journey early enjoying a new machine and proving feedback to the manufacturer if I thought it would improve performance.

Its no different for nearly all new tech, the latest iPhone will have updates within weeks of its release.

In this hi-tech software driven world nothing is ever truly finished.

I thought 0.71 added iron volume to full tones?

Also phrunt can you tell me what the two little rubber blocks are for with the sticky backs almost makes me think they are small feet that sticks to the bottom of the battery compartment for a sort of stand but not sure there is no mention of them in the owners manual

It sounds like it ads WSAudio compatibility, which I have no idea what that is

 

WSA Wireless headphones, same as used on the ORX.

Yes , far from obsolete especially in fields where you dont need a deep detector , but just a machine which is fast and reactive as the targets are shallow 

The D1 can be a very deep machine, just need to understand it

Read this thread for more insight.  Ignore everything until you get to Pimento UK's first post (linked above).

Unless I am missing something that does not discuss subtraction or addition?

Depending on what program you select on the Deus II it processes using one of the above methods, curious to know what other MF detectors may be using like the Legend or NOX. As far as I know you don’t get a choice with those.

What do they actually do? I am assuming subtraction will not include ground responses from iron and salt based minerals so will be quieter but less deep on fringe targets whereas addition will add in the ground responses but may be noisier but deeper on fringe targets that start taking on the ground. Am I on the right lines? Thanks.

I have been using Full tones in PWM audio lately and it sounds better to me than the Square audio version, but I really like Pitch tones in both Square and PWM audio and I'm starting to understand the extra nuances of PWM a bit better now. Good stuff!

You have to get used to it but full tones in pwm gives you a wealth of info.

Not having used the original Deus, I'm a bit out of the loop – what's wrong with the DII full tones? 

In my opinion nothing, in fact the the audio language compared to the D1 in full tones is vastly improved and gives a lot more info.

most of the negative D2 feedbacks come from beach hunters

 

I have found the opposite most I have spoken to and myself included find the D2 a very deep sensitive machine on the beach but just can’t make it rock & roll on pasture. 

General uses the widest span of frequencies out of all the programs, I use it on new sites to get a feel. Then swap to sensitive if it need the weighting at higher frequencies or park / deep hc if I need a lower frequency weighting.

C-Scope here in the UK still make Analogue machines

When you subtract the frequencies for salt cancel you end up with a composite signal that is used for raw detection. Yes, this signal will be less sensitive to target near the salt notch.

That makes sense thanks.

so for the addition it’s opposite, in that you add a frequency like 40khz to make the signal more sensitive to a desired target?

2 minutes ago, Geotech said:

No, it's also used for target detection & ID.

So with subtraction the higher frequency will be less sensitive to low conductive targets like small gold?
