I’d still like to see a computer interface that would allow importing, exporting, and customizing programs.  Sure it’s easy enough to do on the control unit, but it would be great to have the ability to come back from the field and either revert back to a custom program or store a new variant.   Even more, it would be great if program settings could be migrated through a utility from an older machine version to the latest one. 

All those would be nice improvements. But what I really want are the 2 letter/number slots for naming custom programs that they took away!

Yessss! I'd love to have a D2 Program Editor of the computer! I use one to program and edit my digital guitar effects pedal and it makes life so much more easy.

Amen CPT - that’s a great idea.  Wish they would come up with program editors like that.  Understand completely.  Probably use the  same type of software for programming my gear/effects.

Sorry I haven’t been posting lately — still dealing with a few health issues so that has been eating into my detecting time.  Looks like we are still waiting for an update don’t know what’s more painful the kidney stone or the wait for the update.   Gotta poke a lil fun.

I will say though my wife smoked me the other day on multiple targets with her new Manticore with the Minelab stock Park program.  Keep in mind no adjustments were made to the program the machine was only ground balanced.  This is right out of the box except for the initial charge when it arrived the day before.  My D2 11 inch coil had a hard time with seeing the same targets she located.  This was before the targets were unearthed and I tried multiple XP stock programs to see if that made a difference - not really.   Guess I need the update.   Attached is the small 14k gold locket she found.  I had a very hard time hearing the gold locket before it was unearthed.  She also found several small earrings and a ring deep that I could not really see.  Makes me wonder.

Minelab puts out unbaked software...everybody complains. 
XP takes their time to do it right...everybody complains. 

As a software engineer, I'd rather they get it right than rush it to please the squeaky wheels. 

It gets here when it gets here.
