Dances With Doves Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Steve Herschbach said: High frequency raw normalized expands the small target/low conductor range and compresses the high end. So normalized for high conductors (coins) and up-normalized for low conductors/small targets. Normal coins are compressed on my GMX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geotech Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 3 hours ago, Steve Herschbach said: A machine I really wanted from Whites... DFX running at 48 kHz able to use GMT coils. The ability to run at a separate lower frequency would be nice, but not really needed. What I wanted was the full range SignaGraph tied to 48 kHz operation, with both raw and normalized VDI options. The SignaGraph is a true visual display breakthrough that went underutilized by White’s. I prefer it to the Minelab versions in some ways and having a nugget detector with all the tuning and discrimination options of the DFX would have been something, especially if paired up with MXT ground balancing. The V3i at 22 kHz is close though, so I’ll have to be happy with that. During my tenure I defined a new 2-frequency product that would be hi/lo switchable. The low was 6+18 kHz and the high was 18+54kHz. When I left the engineer designing it seemed to have it working pretty well (on the bench) and the SignaGraph was especially impressive. Sometime later he also left the company and the product was obviously never released. I've never heard what happened with it. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auminesweeper Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 White destroyed them selves 4 years ago, They produced a Lemon and made fake videos and lied and then skirted around the issues and it was one problem after another and still they would not react for nearly a month and then they refused to do a Re-Call, People had to send back their machines 4, 5, and 6 times until they had to stop production in order to fix all the machines with problems as a form of a Re-Call and still they would not put their hands up and except the blame, As a devoted Whites User this was so embarrassing and had the same Cringe value as walking in the bathroom while ya 90 year old Grand Ma is taking a bath, I got lied to by them on the forums and I was lied to via emails and via PM's and I received abusive messages and such from some of the Whites Cronies from their forum because of what I posted here and those messages could not be posted here, some of their lies cost me a couple of thousand Dollars, Yes it's sad that Whites is closing down but the consolation is those people who lied to me and sent me abusive messages will no longer have a job in the detecting industry, Paybacks A ***** LOL My heart goes out to all the factory workers who did their best to give us some of the best Detectors in history and I will always shake their hand with a certain amount of pride, J. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 That’s an incredibly dramatic narrative you have going there John. I am concerned you may be getting too emotionally invested in all this. It’s just metal detecting, not life support equipment. Yeah, White’s made some mistakes, but with every telling over the last couple years you take the same story and ramp it up a couple notches. Now it is reaching near epic proportions. Maybe it is time to step back and take a chill pill if something about metal detecting is having that much negative effect on you. On another note, it’s been a month now, and except for the email to dealers, I know of no official public announcement or explanation being offered to White’s customers. Nothing on their website. Nothing on the official White’s forum. No email. This was a leaked dealer email so not really intended for the public. But other than that, has anyone seen or heard anything? I’m not talking second hand stuff, but some public announcement. Because so far it looks like a Tesoro move.... just shut down and never say anything directly to the customer base. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Steve Herschbach Posted July 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2020 I was thinking more something like this: Dear Incredibly Valuable Customer, These are difficult times, and White's Electronics wants to thank you for your patronage and loyalty. The company is at a major transition stage, and factory production has been halted while we evaluate future options for White's. Rest assured we will not abandon our existing customers, and that any questions you have will be answered in the near future. If you have warranty or service issues that need addressing at this time, please contact X. There will be more information forthcoming soon. In the meantime, we ask you please for your patience while this situation is resolved. Once again, thank you for choosing White's Electronics for your metal detecting needs. White's Electronics, Inc. You know, something professional, that one would expect from a responsible company. It's not that hard, took me all of three minutes. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auminesweeper Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Steve I have never posted all of what was going on behind the scenes I just stepped back from it all because at the time I was too angry at certain people for the garbage they posted in my "Inbox" That's the thing that made it personal, So staying away from it all was the best option because I am Ok until I'm pushed. This is the first time I have mentioned all what was going on, and now I just don't care although I do find it amusing how the mighty have fallen, Sad but true, because there was a time when any of my spare cash went on Whites products, The knock on effect from all of this is that now I no longer trust detector companies and I won't be buying another machine until either the dealers or the companies can prove that it is a step up or it can do what mine can't because my interest in the hobby is stuck in first gear after all this and I have almost finished putting my camper together so I can go off detecting and start A fresh, So far it has chewed up well in to 5 figures and I am looking forward to go detecting for weeks at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
