The point here is not to create as many clickbaits as possible. There are certainly many such websites, but that certainly does not apply here. Someone who knows a lot about metal detectors has done a lot of work here and also justified his assessments. One can be divided about the result, but as I said, this is not about clickbaits at all.

Which detector would you take with you? 😁

But who has 10 detectors or more?

This rule may be useful for experienced users. But every new user will fall into this update trap of XP at the beginning. It is not very customer-friendly of XP not to inform its customers in advance. I can see that nothing will change in the near future.

Update V071: The program locations P20, P22, P23 and P24 are now displayed correctly. Previously they were displayed as "P2". Thanks to slyworld 👍

On the XP update page, we could be warned in advance when the customer programs will be deleted again. I was not the first to be surprised by this. I just signed up for the newsletter. Let's see if I will be informed about updates.

Update to 0.71 performed. Customer programs were not deleted this time.

Oh, thank you 😀

Save a program to P20, P22, P23 or P24. The name of the memory location is always P2.
I reported this to XP France in februrary. No reply to my feedback.

Details about the update V0.7
---------------------------
I don't know now if the link is already known to everyone. I put it here anyway.

I find it a very bad style of XP that the customer programs are deleted during the update. Is there another company that does this? The electronic devices that I own, my data is not deleted during the update. I think of my depth sounder, GPS, Wlan-Router etc..

My customer programs were also all deleted with the 0.7 update. You also can't save the customer programs on the PC before the update. Very annoying. 😒

Well, the DEUS II is now going back to the dealer for checking. I can only reach a depth of 14 cm with a 50 cent coin (Euro). At 15 cm there is no more signal. GB = 76. But thanks again for the support.

Yes, I did the update again today, unfortunately no improvements

Hi slyworld, many thanks for the test and the additions 👍🙂
"Maybe check silent EMI, do a frequency scan and if nothing works please try a re-update. " I had already done that several times. But unfortunately nothing has changed. With the 50 cent euro coin I only reach 20cm instead of 40cm. I can not go back to the old firmware, because the update program always gets the latest firmware from the XP server. Now I have the damage.

Hi, after the update I now have a massive loss of depth.
Air test, restart DEUS II , P6 DEEP HC, standard values, 9 inch coil, V06 11.03.2022,
Quarter Dollar: 20 cm (dig me)
One Dime: 16 cm (dig me)
50 Cent Euro: 20 cm (dig me), before 40 cm

Can someone else please run this test?
