If I was to download and install 1.11 can I remove it and go back to1.09 if I don't like it

It's hard to imagine why you would want to. That doesn't answer the question as to whether you can or not , that's above my pay grade , but the changes are really very subtle. I think it's normal to think the upgrades result in a totally different acting machine but Nokta is really only addressing small issues. In my detecting the last couple of days in the same alkaline public trashy parks I notice little difference even though I have been using my new LG35 coil.

First of all to the question it would be interesting to find out if somehow you have the option to go back to a previous version. I think thats a Dilek question.
The three versions are all incorporated in the updater but it automatically updates you to the latest version
As for changing how the detector behaves, some of the changes actually do. Especially if the changes include parameter value changes and it’s programmed to automatically change a value to something different like changing your ground balance or sensitivity settings to a different level than the previous version.
Adding a feature that you don’t have to use or something to do with your backlight, volume, etc won’t make it behave differently but changes to your ground balance and sensitivity things of that nature most likely would.
Some examples of changes they made in newer versions that would change behavior
-Ground balance and pinpoint function parameters have been updated. In automatic ground balancing, if the ground response is too weak or if there is metal where you are trying to ground balance, the detector will now drop the ground balance value to 0 automatically.
-
Auto sensitivity drop in the custom discrimination pattern
When you select the custom discrimination pattern (notch), the sensitivity drops down to 5 automatically. However, if you are using the automatic notch, you may not want the sensitivity to be lowered. In this case, press the Ground Balance button once to revert back to the current sensitivity. Letters "CS" (current sensitivity) will be displayed on the right side.
- General improvements have been implemented
to say”general improvements have been implemented” is a very broad term to say we changed some things in the program.
There’s no telling what they actually changed and what it affects.
How it discriminates, power output, there’s a whole list of things that would change how it behaves then things like the clock, flashlight a whole list of things that wouldn’t.
The only way is to compare how it works under same circumstances from one version to the next. Be interesting to see how it pans out as one person said they noticed a difference in performance they didn’t like but different ground conditions will also be a factor. Some might see an improvement where others might not.
 
Guess I’m confused as to why you upgraded to begin with. But that being said I’m finding the changes completed generally enhance the detector. As for 1.11 Im going to have to wait until this blasted snow goes away and the temps start to stabilize with the daytime highs in the 40s
 
When I tried to download the 1.11 to my new machine that had 1.05
It automatically selected 1.09
With a friend's help we went back thru the download process. Thanks Oldkoot.
At the download screen.
We discovered by clicking the down arrow next to the version to be downloaded.
All the versions were there.
From 1.05 to 1.11
So yes. I'd say you could go back to previous versions.

Having a bottlecap reject is not a subtle change in my opinion , this saves a lot of time digging these time waster junkers. Time saved that can lead to more finds of coins or other treasures. Better unmasking in M3 when in foil is good too. Like you say though all of the other changes won't do anything much at all that you will notice.
 
DD, I was just confused as to why someone would go forward and then refer to to go back. Analogy; if I could get 5 more horsepower or 5 more mpg on the car I would it and then learn the new performance. Just me is all.
 
i was happy with 1.07 then kept updating as everyone was saying how much better it is. I basically dig about everything, regardless of the id, if it beeps i dig lol.
So I don’t know if it really made a difference to me personally, i think your soil conditions is the biggest factor and everyone’s is different. I haven’t had any issues with the updates but just saying there was at least one person who just posted they were not happy with the new version as it was worse for them.
It would just be nice that if the new version happened to be worse for you for whatever reason you could go back.

I trust the engineers at Nokta over what some one says about a detector. Some people can never be pleased with a software upgrade, my opinion is that v1.11 is by far the best version.
I went to test the VERSION 1.11 on the most heavily loaded with junk site i could find that was hit hard by me with many detectors and the Legend with V1.11 was unmasking very very well.
This detector with V1.11 is perfectly good. People who don't like it , just don't have a clue IMHO.

And some people aren’t happy no matter what or nothing is ever enough lol

What coil were you using when you tested it in your heavily loaded with junk site?

That is a great question, from my understanding from talking to people you can go back to 1.09 if you do not like 1.11, the big question in my mind can you go back to a version that is even earlier than 1.09 like say 1.07 if you found you did not like 1.09 or 1.11 or can you go to a version that was earlier than the version your Legend initially came with like say if your legend came with 1.07 or 1.09 can you revert back to say 1.05

some may find that they do not like any of the added features and want to go all the way back to the beginning

the only version I for sure no no one can go back to or revert back to is 1.04 the rest is a complete unknown in my mind anyways, I may give this a try with one of my Legends just to get a definitive answer or I may send Dilek a PM in Facebook just to see what she says.
 
My Legend is running 1.07, but I have only used it once and it seems to be fine. Would anyone care to share a really good reason to update from a version that seems to be functioning properly? I mean is a higher version going to provide my legend more depth or better stability or more frequencies, etc. ?

No more frequencies, basically the same detector with some added features that can make it function better depending on your soil and hunting methods.
Look at the additional features listed on the website and determine if any of them will be useful to you. Only you can determine that as you don’t have to use them all.
Wont give more depth per say but if it allows it to be more stable you can get more depth if that makes sense.
I was fine with 1.07 but upgraded to 1.09 then 1.11
I do use a couple features added and prefer some changes in tones etc.
Does it work better in my soil, its not worse.
 
Thanks for your comment DD. I don't have enough experience or confidence to mess around with the setting on these machines. I'm a believer in " if it aint broke, don't fix it." I'd enhance it if I could or tweak it if I thought I knew what I was doing...smiles.
