Paul I am not sure why you had masking problems with the MXT because I have not suffered from that but I have also found a very useful thing that does away with anything remotely similar to such issues,

This is very important, all MX Sport users with the upgrade need to run audio modulation feature at 0, running at 1 slows down the recovery and creates some tone smearing. 

Paul thanks for the update, This tone smearing is that where one signal bleeds in to another ?

I have found that using a fast SAT has hidden benefits, which I have not posted yet but you are spot with that, So well done for sticking at it, Thanks again Paul Great job.

Paul thats good info, i shall try this weekend. when its not raining. 

on this moment im only searched  in coil and jewelry . sens 6  4 tones, but what you say, its scare, it finds the tiny stuff and deep, normale i have my  shovel in the left hand, when i have it tow on the great and  swing it picksupp the shovel 

so i have a a sling on my shovel to put it on my shoulder, then its no problem, 

the mx sport is very sensitive

Well I got my MXS late today. I was out of town but got here soon after . I've been  setting it up  for a test run tomorrow. I joke about a detector being so hot it would melt a candy bar in your shirt pocket and this may be the one.

Hello Rico and Chuck,

Your version msy be the most current, place modulation feature on 1 and then 0, compare the two with scanning a coin and if you don't notice tone smearing and a slower recovery then yours are the current upgrade. And if yours are having a slight tone smearing, then run modulation at 0. This will eliminate the tone smearing and slow recovery as well.

In Relic mode, bumping up SAT increases recovery and tightens up the tone.

Have fun!

Thanks John,

The MX Sport has the makings of being one of the best VLF out there, I know it's rough for some users and if each of us can share something to help others that's even better.

We'll eventually get through this, look back at our MX Sport adventures and those that hung in there will reap the blessings.

Thanks John!

To test for the original tone smearing issue put three coins on the ground 4" apart and wave coil over them at normal sweep speeds, you will get one signal when you should be getting three in all modes except all metal and prospect mode. Most newer machines get good separation 2" apart or less.

Here I've been waiting on my detector to come back and it's raining today. I know the MXS is waterproof but I'm not.haha  I will and can do some air testing that will tell me some thing about my MX Sport. I just hope it's what I want it to be.( For me )
