Square is great for beep beep sounds, but realistically doesn’t provide much useable feedback other than target indication. Still a nice audio to have in your arsenal.

Adjustments in the equalizer can really enhance high square’s audio information. I was a diehard full tone PWM guy, but after messing with the equalizer I’m now a full tone high square guy (for now anyway). However, in pitch I’ll only use PWM as the other tone options in pitch basically annoy my ears to no end.

I’ quickly became a big fan of just listening to the machine with the remote on my belt or pocket in the factory belt/flip case. I considered the arm band but I’m always switching between programs and settings while investigating a target, and it’s more convenient or possible to do so with one hand free. A glance of target ID can be had with any remote placement, but I’ve personally deprioritized target ID in favor of full tones or pitch feedback.

The D2 buttons do seem rather stiff when new and mine have remained stiff for however many years I’ve had it. But that is a good thing in my opinion. The “tactile” feel of most electronic’s buttons will not be found on the d2. But most electronic’s buttons aren’t rated to be used under 60’ of water.

Go terrain is now available.

It was quite a challeng for myself as well coming from Minelab. The challenge remains with understanding what this machine is telling me.

That’s awesome!

Great write up as usual Cpt. We’ll done

As Gary said in the video, you have to decide if it’s right for you. I commend XP for coming out with it. It’s just a matter of marketing the useful scenarios of the machine at this point. The main investment they probably had was with the Deus 2 control unit which obviously is used on this machine as well. Why wouldn’t they offer up another use for the tech?

I’m looking forward to the upcoming technical video even though I really have no usable are to use this machine. I’m intrigued on many levels.

Can you fill the shaft with sand?

Right, AR doesn’t technically reduce the depth of the detector, but it does reduce the depth the detectorist can hear a target.

Audio response kinda tempers sensitivity and definitely reduces depth as midalake said. Sensitivity itself also reduces depth, so all but these 2 variables being equal in the settings, can we achieve the same result by decreasing sensitivity with an increased audio response? If you try it, please let me know what your conclusions are.

I bought a few lanyards for the remote. I didn’t trust the one that came with it.
