I gota question for you , Why are you running your TH at 1 ? Cheers Marty

Sure looks futuristic all right , light compact with a punch no doubt , will it replace the CTX3030 properly not, but it sure will for the now dated 705 what was the price tag on to top range model ? Marty

Did you manage to get all them rings of again Marty

Great post , been a while since I loaded a MLF file to X-change, how do you do it again ? Worked it out , boy its been a while 1. Download the program files you want to your PC/Laptop desktop. 2. Open Xchange2 program. 3. Plug CTX into the computer with its USB lead and switch it on. 4. CTX icon will now appear at the top LHS above All. 5. Click on file on the LHS of the screen. 6. Click on the up arrow in the centre of the screen (this is the import button), Click on choose file. 7. Navigate to the desktop (where you downloaded the .mlf attachments). 8. Click on the chosen .mlf then click on open, all the files will now appear in the file window. 9. Repeat the above for other .mlf files 10. Now drag all required modes onto the CTX icon. Marty

Thanks for that JP Is that also the same when flicking via the user button and going into fixed GB ? Cheers Marty

Thanks Steve I thought that the Z may have been smart enough to retain its GB when changing between ground modes But like you said 20 sec's and your done , my mate and I have been using the 2300 as a pinpointer , the Z finds a target I steak a yellow tent peg in its location and move on to the next target while he Digs and checks the targets . how lucky em I to have a "Dig Bitch" cant wait to find a super deep target that will sort him out We also found that using a pinpointer is well worth using these days Cheers Marty

If your in General/Difficult and want to switch over to say General/Normal , you have to do the BG for the next mode right ? Or are you able to keep swinging away once you have made the mode change, if a re BG has to be made every time you change modes would this not take a good length of time for the ground data to be back up to speed ? Marty

Pretty sure he was in Diff/HY , like I was when I had the same thing happen to me , I ended up flicking to Normal when the target became far louder and ended up being a 0.8gr Marty

Nice Pete , did RD get his as well ? Marty

Nah Mate , I'm with you , a smaller coil would be great however they shoulda made a 8" and not the 11" coil for it , be far greater for those tight spots in the scrub or around rocks in the creek beds Marty

Nice post Steve , by using the lower part of the coil mount from the Z , this might just be a good way for some that are taller than others or those that suffer from back pain where a long shaft would fix that issue Cheers Marty PS; remember the 4000 release where you wrote that great fantasy story about the detector , apart from the women giving you drinks and the back hoe (digger) the Z is just about there

You only need to take a look how long it took Coiltek to get the limited coil run I think 200 for the CTX3030 , I would think if there were any aftermarket coils for the Z , it would be ways down the line Marty

When the 5000 was released I was told not to buy this one but the next detector after that as it would have SD card upgrades for it , keeping the unit you have and buy the card upgrade , Now ML have used the X-change software to do much the same thing , upgrade unit firmware via the app Be nice if they did that and there is no reason why they cant/wouldnt do it later down the track Marty

Cheers Jonathan Forgot to ask you , if you set the Sens to high in High Yield/Difficult, say around 14 upwards at what point did the Z become unstable ? Marty

Hi JP When using the BnZ set up , what number should we dial up to 2 or 3 ? Many thanks Marty
