CPT_GhostLight Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 My D2 is running just fine. I have notice the clock issue from time to time, but I just check it with my phone's clock before I start detecting and if it's off I just do a quick clock adjust on the D2 and off I go. I really don't care about the clock when I'm out detecting. I don't care about the Go Terrain app, specially if it's a subscription service. How many people actually used the CTX-3030 version of that? There are better, cheaper phone apps out there. My ground balance seems to be working fine as well. I too do have to pump it a little more, but whatever, that doesn't bother me. So far, my D2 is performing well and I have way less EMI issues than with my Nox. So XP, by all means, take your time and get the update right. I'd much rather have a fully tested and working update that doesn't undo the progress made so far, than to have to be a beta tester for new updates every other month. Meanwhile, I don't mind working around the kinks. There are no perfect products, everything has kinks. It's my job as a consumer to adapt and overcome. ? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Clock is the only thing I've noticed, but what do I know. It does take 12+ pumps sometimes to get a good ground balance, but once done it really makes stuff jump out. ? I'm glad improvements are on the way, it will make a great detector even greater. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unox Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I see the ground balance slowness here as well, it is just dog slow to settle on a number. Would be nice to be able to set it manually like the D1. I see Mono mode has adjustable ground balance...just wish the M/F programs did as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what XP says in the user's manual regarding why manual GB adjustment is not available for the FMF programs: To me it seems that since Grab is based off the displayed numeric value, you should be able to manually bias the setting by simply inputting another number. But I suppose that was why they included the Ground Stabilizer setting only for the FMF modes. Apparently some secret sauce stuff going on for the individual frequency constituents of FMF when you do a ground grab in FMF, and perhaps that's what takes so long. Who knows... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gary XP Posted January 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2023 It may be worth trying a ground balance with Ground Stabiliser at 1. XP are listening guys, they want this next update to tick as many boxes as possible. I talked with the engineers, they thanked you for your patience and want to assure you things are moving forward. 16 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Doc Bach Posted January 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2023 Much Obliged Gary your input is always appreciated.Not trying too overreach here but if there is ever any hint of a small elliptical coil in the works and you are allowed to spill the beans so to speak go ahead and blow our minds! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unox Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Thanks Chase, I haven't been through the manual for a while, but all good info right there. As the saying goes: " All Good things come to those who wait” is an English proverb. It's used to describe the benefits of waiting patiently rather than rushing into something. By waiting, one, in theory, increases their chances of something good happening to them." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
