I would not be surprised if Minelab got a patent on the magnetic coupling, but you'd think they could certainly come up with some sort of wireless induction charging. Perhaps even utilizing the coils of wire already in the coil. (NOT an electrical engineer here... there may be practical reasons this wouldn't work)

XP Deus 2. XP is the company name. XP is the machine.

Oh, OK... so they are made by XP. I wasn't sure they weren't 3rd party. Thanks.

Where do you get them?

Thanks, Chase. Yeah, I agree that it sounds like much ado about next to nothing. It does sound (former programmer here) that some variable or parameter is not getting cleared or reset properly, but under extremely unlikely circumstances. Its something that XP would want to know about and correct, of course, but I'm not losing any sleep over it, I guess. Thanks for doing the translation for me... you're a true MVP!

Reactivity and sensitivity

Napolean? Well, that's just crazy! 😉

I'm not even sure what the actual bug is... what is supposed to be happening when you switch from Relic to SFT without resetting?

Hah! Fun and informative both, Jeff. Much thanks. I Do use Relic with AIR 5 and frequently switch over to SFT, so I may have to keep an eye on this. I haven't updated to 2.0 yet, but I guess we don't know for sure if this started there, or if it existed already in 1.1

I don't speak Tennesseean and have a hard time understanding his videos, and it gets even harder when he's going through the settings with glare on his screen or the camera cutting off part of it. I do use the Relic program pretty regularly though. Could somebody give a short written explanation of this bug so I will at least know if it is something that I should be concerned about enough to try to decypher the video? Thanks.

Yeah, a dime at 8 inches is just on the edge of the detection zone for the soil in my area, at any rate.

Exactly. The way that I understand masking (or, at least the way that I'm using the term) is when the RF from the coil hits iron and causes a magnetic field around it that hides the non-ferrous object. That's why reducing power can sometimes help to minimize it.

Gary, I don't think I've heard how you came to hear about Tekkna. You are certainly the one that has made it a household word but who put it together? Also, (and more importantly) do you know why discrim was set to 42, and not 41 or 43 or some other number?

Silencer is only supposed to reduce falsing, isn't it?
