Guest Paul (Ca) Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks Tom for the update, yes one of those MX Sports on the bench is mine :) Looking so forward to getting it back, can't wait to take her out again. Enjoy your prospecting hunt, hope you find a nugget of two with both the GMT and TDI, two great nugget finders! Thanks again for your help!

Beach hunters in particular may be happier with that ability to make a faint hit sound like a boomer target. It is not a defect, it is a way of doing things that may or may not work for people. It would be a non-issue had White's not make statements indicating the behavior I observed should be different than it was. Hi Steve H and all love the forum , but most of all Steve your politeness and honesty . ok so does this mean that there is two types of MXS? one with the long hold audio, for deeper target, and the new program for faster target response but no so deep? would be a good idea to have a switch, so we can choose between the two, because having the option to switch between quick target tones for areas for high trash areas and slow target tones for areas that are not trashy? I would prefer to switch the MXS to my preference rather than being forced to use only quick target tone with fast target update. just my thoughts Rod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Welcome to the forum Rod, and thank you. The preferred option would be an adjustable recovery control, as target separation and depth is usually a trade off. In this case it is an open question however as the audio drag with tones activated seems to be far in excess of what would be considered normal. It may be that we will see no depth loss even with a more rapid turnover in tones with better separation. Consider however that on one hand White's is basically saying the original firmware run is not something they think everyone needs, yet every new machine from here on out will have the new firmware. It does raise the question of whether early first version machines might be sought after by some people, as has occurred with other detectors. The first run Garrett Infinium machines were extra hot, but it caused stability issues in salt water. The machine was toned down in later versions, leading some to want those early hot models. A similar thing occurred with an early Gold Bug Pro version. We really will not know reality until people who have early versions that were upgraded can report back with a before / after synopsis. Lets hope there is no reason to not have the firmware upgrade done. I considered hanging on to mine as is and acquiring an upgraded unit to compare directly but to be honest that just boiled down to more trouble than it was worth to me. I am ready to just go detecting, not chase down obscure performance issues in machines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowwinkles Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 This release has been an eye opening for a lot and a learning curve for both sides. Lets hope that Whites next release goes without any hick-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Coin Hunter Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I just tested the updated Mx Sport, and am extremely happy with the results! The recovery speed is very good. I was running it against my F75 Ltd, and it could hang with it! I've been through every mode, in ground testing, air testing, and I can't find a thing wrong with It. It's a superb performer and value at this price point and beyond. I could play a song with this thing in 20 tone mode, it's good. I've had coins extremely close together and it will pick them out at a very brisk sweep speed. This update is a real game changer for this unit in my opinion! If you've seen my channel, you know that I've used and reviewed many units. This version is very good. I feel confident that I could hunt with anyone without a worry. I just pulled a large cent out of extreme trash with this unit. I'm very satisfied with the results of the changes Whites has made. Remember that there have been growing pains with units from many manufacturers. Faulty coils, no cam locks, pinpoint bugs. All sorts of issues from different companies. I give Whites a great deal of credit for jumping on this quickly, and fixing it! Top quality company that stands behind their products. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auminesweeper Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 So when you found that large cent on the video was that before the changes?? I noticed that the MXS-S does not like your TRX with the frequencies being so close together ? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
