    New V3i on the way!!

    I liked my MXT, but there wasn't much that needed to be adjusted.You need to learn what V3i settings affect performance and work with them. Don't worry about the bells and whistles in the beginning.

    Ribbon connector replaced. Could this have been my lack of depth problem?

    In most cases the detectors are not out of calibration. It is done just because the detector is in the shop. In more cases the coil will be out of null. Sounds like you had neither problem. If you had a problem it wll be reported to you. In many cases the depth problem is due the newer users...

    Whites coming soon? V12i

    Most people drive an automatic transmisson, but not Corvette and NASCAR drivers. Maybe for optimum operation the best computer is still between our ears. :thumbup: I have no idea what Whites is going to do.

    Whites coming soon? V12i

    Yep and maybe it will be able to detect metal also. :rant: Remember people wanted the VX3 because it does less not more. :confused:

    Filters and speed (old link)

    About filter and speed Adjusting the filters and recovery delay will influence how the detector identifies a target or if a target is even present, the ground filters and the SAT are used to cancel out the effects of ground. The recovery delay is used to tell the detector when to start looking...

    V3i Sensitivity (old link)

    Sensitivity Section The sensitivity section contains settings to adjust the detectors response to weak signals and noise conditions. The receive gain, RX gain, setting controls the signal gain for the amplifier connected to the loop. This input stage amplifier needs to be adjusted for optimal...

    The White 10x12 SEF (old link)

    Optimized (White) 10x12 SEF Coil SEF stands for (Symmetric Electromagnetic Field). The SEF coil is a modified DD where the two loops overlap each other in the middle. When testing the prototype V3i I experienced less ground noise, slightly better depth and better coverage with the non V rated...

    Spectra Coils (old link)

    Spectra Coils The Spectra series detectors were designed to run with V rated coils. V rated coils are coils that are nulled to a higher tolerance then non V rated Whites coils and aftermarket coils. These coils allow the V detectors to operate at the highest possible efficiency. There are 3...

    Zero Tones (old link)

    WHY Zero Tones The main reason I don’t reject VDI is “The way the code is written the detector can react faster by having it accept all targets and setting a 0 tone to the ones you don't want to hear, rather than rejecting targets. “(From Anne) There can be a little difference. 1) For an...

    Master Reset (old link)

    This was a post I copied from Carl@Whites. Everybody thought the master reset was a fix all.:rant: The HARD RESET doesn't do squat unless by some strange set of circumstances the processors don't get turned off (the regulator is supposed to make that happen though). If they get into some weird...

    Hunting in Mineralized Soil (old link)

    HUNTING IN MINERALIZED GROUND WITH THE V3i Rx Gain Sensitivity: will influence the all-metal mode, pinpoint mode and the discrimination mode. The setting for the Rx is determined by how much trash/iron is in the ground and the ground mineralization strength. The Rx gain being set too high can...

    Ground Balance (old link)

    What does Ground Balance do? = It compensates for ground mineralization so that your detector doesn't see the ground as a target. It calculates a VDI for the ground and then ignores that VDI, also known as Ground Exclusion Balance or "GEB". What does AutoTrac do? = It samples the ground and...

    Falsing (old Link)

    "Falsing" is a broad term used where your detector generates “good” signals, and generally there is no target. EXTERNAL SOURCES External factors that can result in falsing are EMI and Mineralization. 1 presence of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), harmonics of your detector's operating...

    Ground Probe (old link)

    The Ground Probe This feature is activated by selecting the Ground Tracking Live Control and pressing the ZOOM button. It will remove the system / coil offsets and enable the user to achieve a more accurate reading of the ground. The VDI reading at the top of the screen is converted from the...

    Ground tracking (old link)

    Tracking All right we covered the correct way to ground balance the V3i. Now that the detector has filtered out the ground signal we need to maintain that balance using the tracking options. Those two options would be Autotrac or LockTrac. A proper GB should really be done before the AutoTrac is...

    Very Worst Dirt (old link)

    This was written by a guy hunting in Culpepper. The red dirt areas are pretty tough for any VLF detector to handle. The ground itself has a heavy iron oxide to it; thus the reddish color. The shallower items in the ground can be hit pretty well with VLFs, with the cut off limit about 5 inches...

    Reducing EMI effects (old link)

    Reducing the Effects of EMI While smaller coils will also help reduce EMI, all the following were performed and validated using the 10"DD coil. Using Ground Filter and Frequency Offset 1.Go to pinpoint (AM) mode 2. Hold the unit waist high ( and turn in a circle) 3. Observe the noise level 4...

    Recovery Delay (old link)

    Estimating Optimum Recovery Delay Settings There are a lot of details in the explanation below, but first here is the simple answer. To determine the optimum RD in terms of masking, lay two coins a tad more than one coil's width apart and pass the coil over the targets at 3 – 4 inches height at...

    Recovery Delay (old link)

    RECOVERY DELAY Once the recovery delay cycle is started by encountering a target, the V3i will give a certain recovery time" to the process. It doesn’t matter how many targets are in the ground. You decide how many time units the V3i has by how high or low you set the recovery delay. If you give...
