    Annoying Racer Anomaly

    When I turned my Racer on at the beach this morning it when into immediate overload with "saturation" appearing at the bottom of the screen. I tried turning the machine on and off multiple times; I tried re-seating the batteries; I tried disconnecting and then reconnecting the cable. The...

    Golden uMAX Operating Frequency

    The Golden is touted as a good jewelry machine (gold jewelry). Why didn't Tesoro design it with a higher operating fequency (e.g., 15Mhz or above) so that it would be especially tuned to low conductors?

    Has Racer Performance Matched the Hype - Monte, Keith, Steve, Others?

    Monte, Keith, Steve and a few other initial evaluators were all pretty enthusiastic about the Racer when it first became available for testing. Since that time, those folks have logged a lot more time with their test units and a lot of other folks have gone out and purchased the machine and...

    5.5" x 10" Coil - Is the Verdict in Yet?

    I've read some posts praising the coil and a few others by folks who were ambivalent about its performance. Is it worth giving this one a shot? Seems like it may be a compromise between the standard coil and the highly praised 4.5" x 5" coil. Thoughts?

    Auction Postings

    I just posted about a particular Tesoro that's currently up for auction (not mine) - and the post was removed. There's currently another post on the forum about an auction for a Diablo that's not been removed by the moderator. Please clarify when information about an auction can be posted and...

    F75LTD2 Target Audio Fade

    I have a brand new F75LTD2 (11/14). When I put my coil over a target, the response is usually clear, bright and loud. However, lately the target response periodically fades to the point that It's barely audible. I can usually remedy this temporarily by turning up the volume knob. However...

    7" Compadre Hotter?

    In the "Which Compadre" post down below, several folks say that the 7" coil is "hotter" than the current 5.5" and 8" coils. Does anyone know why the older 7" coil is hotter? Is it wound differently? Other explanation? If it is in fact hotter than the two currently coils currently...

    Racer Handle Ergonomics

    For those of you who are testing the unit (Keith, Steve, Monte, etc.) what are your thoughts on the relatively steep angle of the handle/grip on the Racer? Is it a sound ergonomic design or is it creating hand/wrist pain with prolonged use?

    F75 LTD2 Volume Knob Problem

    Anyone have a solution for the volume knob getting bumped out of adjustment? Seems to happen to me once or twice each time I'm out. At first I thought I was going deaf or that there was a short circuit somewhere. I thought about putting a rubber o-ring under the knob like I've done on my...

    Storage and Preventive Maintenance?

    I didn't see anything in the Racer owners manual about detector storage and preventive maintenance. Should information on these subjects be added to the manual?

    Racer Tone Sequencing Clarification

    Keith: Did you ever get clarification from Makro on the tone order set-up on the Racer? Did they intend the tones to get progressively higher with each subsequent setting or did they intend them to alternate from low to high and to low again?

    Racer ID Filtering

    Can someone please explain this feature? Is it the same thing as notching on other detectors?

    Racer Pro Pack

    Just watched Keith's unpacking video. He had the blue tooth headphones and pin-pointer in his package. I'm pretty sure the pinpointer is not included in the pro-pack but I'm not sure about the blue tooth headphones. Can someone clarify? Actually, Keith's package included two sets of...

    Does Having a Compadre Make Sense -

    ... if I already own an Eldorado, a Bandido II uMAX or a Golden? In other words, is there anything the Compadre does better than these other machines that would justify my keeping it in my detector arsenal?

    CoRe vs. Racer

    Even though the Racer's not out yet, the general consensus on this forum seems to be that the Racer will match the performance of the CoRe. I'd appreciate it if Keith or Monte (or whomever else may wish to chime in) would explain what attributes or technology the machines have in common that...
