Lance Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 13 hours ago, cjc said: My problem with the NOX is that it often drops into low TX doing who knows what. Also, if the D2 is losing depth in salt with the 9" coil, the big coil can only be worse. Even the mighty CTX has this problem--just can't process it's own big coil with out some PHD level signal balancing.... cjc I was was testing the D2 with an 11 inch coil in salt water over the weekend. On wet sand it was giving a clear signal on a 14 inch low conductor coin (Program- Beach Sens). In chest deep water it was was struggling on the same target at 10 inches (Program -Dive). The Ctx gave a slightly clearer signal, which might be due to the fact that I am more familiar with Ctx . I will try some more testing this weekend 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But did you "have" to run the dive program? Could you get away with running the beach mode in the spot you were at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This coming weekend I am planning on trying to run the Beach and Beach Sensitive program with a few changes. Hopefully I can get a little more depth in the water. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try some more testing this weekend , This is exactly the kind of simple no nonsense testing that's needed. Laughable hearing Calabash going on about how it beats a way overtuned NOX with the Coiltek 15" --25 Sens --ya right... As itchy as my trigger finger is--that's the hard dope--thanks, Midalake. cjc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the NOX--in fast salt all the beggar tricks (higher disc, higher 1st tone break, low Sens, fast rec--won't let you run beach 1. (Great signal balancing practice though). Maybe the D2 is different.... cjc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to assume dive mod salt balance is set to its depths so it will likely loose its sensitivity to much smaller gold…. as do other machines. Clive it’s not in the realm of the Xcal or CZ dive depth but 30’ is plenty deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
