Dances With Doves Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 48 minutes ago, Rick N. MI said: The Apex seems to have a fast recovery when sweeping back and forth over a coin in the video. The audio was fast and sharp. I like it but I need the waterproof one. Nice to see a video with it out detecting a little bit. Need to see more videos of hunts with it and need to hear the Apex as it sweeps over a found target and as it sweeps thru iron. Garrett did a good job! I hope the waterproof one is light and based on the Apex with added features. I would like a waterproof one too. Great audio. It would be nice to have a waterproof one in the summer.

Rick N. MI Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 If they can waterproof the Apex and it looks like they could. Add more features and I think we could have a waterproof one this summer. If the control unit is different than the Apex I don't think we would see it this year. So I hope it's a waterproof Apex with added features this summer.

Steve Herschbach Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Except for the Steve Moore interview where he says "future models will be a slow process". Maybe Christmas? Maybe next year? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 That's right. I forgot that. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could spend considerable time looking at user mamuals, or just ask you, Steve. ? Doesn't the White's V3i let you choose 2 of 3 frequencies? Also, do any other detectors have this optionality?

The V3i is either one of the 3 frequencies, or one of two multi frequency options that both ran all 3 but with different signal processing. I'm not aware of any detector that allows you to choose the frequencies in multi frequency mode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Well, the question has to be what are you trying to achieve? Any detector that allowed you to pick the actual frequencies would have to be carefully designed to use that mix of frequencies together, in advance, by design. You can’t just toss stuff together and expect it to work. This is what Equinox weighting is all about. Now I see a new marketing ploy in the making. It’s not Park 1, it’s 5+15 mode. Park 2 could be 5+20 mode, Beach 2 could be 5+10 mode. All sorts of combos you could pick from to give the illusion of control. Or extend the illusion further. Pick 5 kHz and 10 kHz and the unit goes to Beach 2, but in your mind you’ve done something extra special by selecting the frequencies. But you did not and can’t. Only the engineers get to do that. All you are talking about is a different user interface that would offer the illusion of control. PS I made those combos up. The V3i question already answered. One of three, or all three at once. Unlike these models that blend it all together into one number, the V3i shows you the target response at each frequency independently and simultaneously. Cool stuff. But ultimately all that extra info kind of boils down to “it sounds good, dig it.” A person can fall into paralysis by analysis with the V3i. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a classic mistake of calling out Steve H. when others here are capable of answering. (Glad he answered, too.) Always good to have multiple knowledgeable posters here who can field the questions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
