The Legend V.1.14 Beta-1 Beast

Seems they've been working on it since the fall.

If interested there are few new videos popping up on YouTube. Here’s a link to Nokta’s release:

Funny the Manticore uses "Unleash the Beast" as their marketing slogan, now the Legend has "Beast Mode" 😛

Tarsacci calls that big coil the Beast

At least for me, Beast Mode is a beast to setup for high mineralization. There are a truckload of hidden menu button pushes to take care of.......

Deep Target is totally awesome. What a great, easy to use and very effective feature.

Jeff-----Is it as good/deep as & have as effective of deep TID as the Deus 2? (with same size coils)

I had a chance to experiment a little further with in the wild targets, instead of a controlled test.

DT is working well. The sweet spot setting in my ground is 2 to 3. Any more than that, and I begin getting some falsing and audio stuttering.

Beast Mode though? I'm still scratching my head on that 😁

"Beast mode" is not quite there yet.  Notice the VDI numbers in Park vs Beast on the nickel...plus depth was weaker.

I got V1.14 loaded just fine and have spent about an hour poking around both test beds. Dt does help some but it is not huge. 3 seems about right for me also. Higher settings add a lot of warble to the response. It reminds me of the EUD setting on the Anfibio somewhat, that and a hot rock offset.

The beast mode does seem like an updated Gen D mode. It is very crisp at very modest sensitivity levels. It gets a little ragged if overdriven. The TID response should be better. That was the problem with Gen D. I assume it is a multi frequency. I wish Nokta would give us an indication of how it is weighted. If it is high like Gold Field M that would limit it’s usefulness for me. I would like something close to M1 or even M2 for all around responsiveness.. The Iron response adjustment works well at 2 or 3.

 All in all the update is positive. I hope Nokta will tweak it some more to make it really stand out. As it is, I could just as well use my Custom 4 tone set up for targets reporting as Ground due to mineralization.

 More time on it is certainly needed.
