So true... but I'd  love to know the recipe for the secret sauce lol

Well pickle me grandmother guys It was only a question.

I understand that some people are happy to just press the (as you call it) I Believe button but there are those people that likes to ask, to learn and indeed tweek those pre sets in the hope of finding better settings for different soils found in Australia.

Anyway I got my answer yes it does have multi frequencies. I now know.

 

 

Not saying you shouldn’t tweak the user adjustable settings (e.g., ground balance, discrimination, tone ID breakpoints, recovery speed, and iron bias) for specific conditions, you should absolutely do that and can with Equinox.  The Multi IQ tweak is selecting the right mode for the job at hand and that is why ML provided basically 7 different multi IQ search profiles (Park 1/2, Field 1/2, Beach 1/2, and Gold*).

*Even though ML provided Gold 1/2, it appears the Multi IQ profile is the same for both Gold modes with the only apparent difference being the default recovery speed setting between the two.

I'm just wondering if this has been asked before ?

When I purchased my Equinox 800 the shop told me that the multi-iq is not available when in gold mode, only 40 and 20 kHz. In the manual it if I understand it correctly it says that in gold mode you have multi, 40 and 20khz modes. My question is

In gold mode is the multi, all frequencies 5, 10, 15, 20 and 40khz or is it only scanning 20 and 40khz in gold modes.

Hope someone can set me straight

 

Multi IQ is strength of Equinox. Here’s a video I did today showing strength of multi IQ.  Notice ground balance changes somewhat when moving back and forth between single freq ops and multi frequency ops.

I certainly wasnt trying to be negative...... but rarely is that secret sauce ever determined.    Im the worst at wanting to know.....million questions guy here.   I do push those button and i learn a little info from all the real Gurus on these sites..... but it still comes down to my conditions and playing around with the machine.   Ive got to TEACH ME.... and its been said you dont know what you dont know.   Hard to tell how many out there are using their machines subpar.    I get guys all the time come up to me on the beach with questions.   I look at their settings and wonder .... my god how are you finding anything..... seriously.    Its a lot like those with that golf swing.  We develop bad habits and just because we find something ... sometimes we think all is well.   My suggestions is ..... test especially on those deep targets.... im many cases that means dig more targets.   Also ..... the Nox manual is perhaps the BEST one ive ever read.  I dont know who wrote it but they knew the machine.

I love this quote...

I knew you were not being negative and agree with you.  And being a 1 million questions guy myself, I've known for awhile now that ML is just not going to be forthcoming with how Multi IQ does what it does, so, like you, I am just happy to just know that it does it and am resigned to not knowing how it does it.
