Well, I went ahead and updated to V2.0. I will say that was the quickest and easiest update so far. I knocked out the Remote, WS6, WSA-II, and WSA-II-XL headphones in a matter of minutes and I got my saved programs loaded back up in no time. Now I'll have to make a couple of runs to test it out and see how it goes. ?

Same here! ?

Updated mine this morning, both the WS6 Master and the D2 remote, as well as 2 pairs of WSA II headphones. ? I don't see any reason to wait, and they may have fixed other stuff they didn't mention.

It was a tiny bit fiddly due to my tiny laptop downloading Windows 11 updates (?), but after a couple restarts with a couple of devices, it's all done. ? reprogrammed my programs.

Don't forget to turn audio volumes up for what you use and down for devices you're not using, and save your pinpointer settings again! It will connect but at default values.

One thing I noticed already, and it is not in the change notes, is that my older MI-6 which wouldn't connect well with either the WS6 or D2 previously is connecting ok now with the WS6. ?

The #9 Relic stock program running at 24 kHz does not appear to have been changed from V1.10 to V2.0. The air test results in the above test are very similar to version 1.10 FMF Goldfield on the smaller sub gram targets, especially the very fast drop off of the audible responses on the #6 lead shot and the 0.25 gram flat lead targets. The audio response goes from clearly audible to nothing almost immediately which is what FMF Goldfield used to do using V1.10 and earlier software. The decrease in audio response on repeatable 2 way hits using V2.0 FMF Goldfield is now very linear and gradual which is what I expect from a good small gold nugget prospecting detector.

As I think about it some more, I think it's a good thing there is some differentiation in the way Goldfield and Relic behave in this regard for the reasons you mentioned earlier regarding suppressing a certain TID range in iron which can be advantageous from an audio fatigue standpoint.  No need to have two identically behaving stock programs taking up memory space.  This gives you additional options for search modes and target interrogation. I'm in on the update.

Took my WS6 Master out for some beach fun with V2.0 today, my beach program acted a little differently. Could be conditions but magnetic reject/accept, which quieted the black sand and possibly other materials in the water now makes no difference in either setting, and the detector now makes a lot more noise in the water using Beach sensitive, showing a sporadic 26. ? It was quiet on the dry beach as usual.

in v2.0 WS6  pinpoint  doesn't  work  on programm  with “conductive soil subtraction”

Pinpoint is working properly as far as I can tell in all modes using the main remote.

Pinpoint is not working using General, Relic, Diving, Beach and Beach Sensitive using the WS6 as Master. It works in the other modes as far as I can tell.

It didn't work on WS6 Master in V1.1 either in Beach Sensitive. Just thought it was my waveguide. ? You get the graphic but no sound.

Guess we're going to see V2.1 soon!

I haven't used my Deus 2 with the WS6 as Master since v0.71 except for gold prospecting in the Mono mode so I am out of touch with some of it's quirks and bugs since V1.11. 

Thanks for adding that pinpoint wasn't working using some of the programs in V1.11 either. 

It took XP almost 2 years to straighten out some of the missing WS6 features and the lack of sensitivity in Goldfield. They definitely still have more work to do to improve Deus 2 apparently. 

By the way, I picked up a 13X11" coil based on your recommendations F350Platinum. I've been over small areas at two sites since getting it that I had hit hard with the 9" coil. Three  9+" deep silver US dimes already in two short hunts. It hasn't injured me yet!!!!!  Thanks?
