I almost always use Field or Park modes. I only use All metal mode when I go to a new place to detect. I'm sure I'll get it figured out after some use of the machine.

OBTW:   I have version 2.78

The Simplex is a whole lot of detector for the money and is far from "simple".

You didn't mention what software version and what mode you are using.

For instance, the default setting All Metal Mode has a threshold tone that is continuous (unless you lower its volume level). The threshold tone will react to the ground also if one doesn't do a ground balance especially if your coil sweeps are not level. All Metal Mode instructions are on page 9 and the Threshold feature is on page 13 in case you haven't studied the manual.

Otherwise..........??????

Hello all! New to the forum. Got a Nokta Simplex+ to replace my old Whites detector. First 2 times my son and I took it out, we found good stuff (knife, ring, and a dime). Took it out yesterday, and on any setting, it is just beeping like crazy. And the numbers jump from 10-90. Even when not moving the detector.

Just saw a post about a wonky update, and wondering if we should so something about that. Or is there a way to reset this thing and tune it in?

My old Whites had a ground control knob, but was also from the 1960's... lol

Thanks for any help/advice!

I have only had my Simplex+ just over a week and I get like a steady "white noise" and a buzz all of the time. I do a ground balance, turn down the sensitivity and  change frequencies. Can't get rid of the hum and buzz.

   When I swing to the right, it sounds like it hits a target but when I swing back to the left, I hear nothing. It does it in my yard and in open farm fields. I'm tempted to sell the Simplex and go back to my $100.00 Bounty Hunter Tracker IV.
