    Spectra V3 Microprocessor Sales to US Blocked by ITC Order?

    Hi Larry, My primary concern is that there is the possibility that they may have to move to another processor, and if they have to do that, it's probably going to be a better and faster chip than the Freescale ARM9. As an aside I'm curious why they didn't choose one of the Intel RISC...

    Spectra V3 Microprocessor Sales to US Blocked by ITC Order?

    I don't think that the ARM9 processor comes in any other type of package than the one that is affected. Well I was just impressed by the transparency on White's part with their technical document - do don't see that from Minelab - no one even knows what processor they are using as far as I...

    Spectra V3 Microprocessor Sales to US Blocked by ITC Order?

    Where do you see "internal microprocessor change"? ak_1234, their lead developer, states in two separate posts that 1.2 has to do with supporting memory chips from a different manufacturer. The White's document that was just released states that there is no memory on-board the microprocessor...

    Underground Enclosure -- What Is It?

    A friend of mine in the area (northern NJ) told me an interesting story that when he was digging the footings for his patio that he located an enclosure that was underground behind his house, not too far from it I assume. He said that it was round (about 5' or 6' in diameter) and about 9' deep...

    Spectra V3 Microprocessor Sales to US Blocked by ITC Order?

    Because of an order from the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), certain BGA-packaged products currently are not available from Freescale Semiconductor for sale or import into the United States until 24 September 2010. The ITC order does not prevent Freescale from marketing or...

    Spectra V3 Microprocessor Sales to US Blocked by ITC Order?

    I was very impressed by White's transparency on their choice of microprocessors and much more, so much so that I have a V3 on order! This same technical document states that they are using the Freescale ARM-9 with built-in DSP. As a professional software developer I am quite interested in...

    New Whites V3 - Test Drive - V3 Story Booklet

    I agree with you Jule that I swing the Explorer about 2 feet per second (I estimated this before reading your post) if I were to guess which is a little more than 1 mph.

    Auto-Sensitivity: Is there really any reason to set it less than 32?

    Like Bryce, I have really gotten to like using Auto-Sens. I started years ago with Manual, but the machine is just so much more stable (I can't stand all of the spurious false chirps in Manual) in Auto and I haven't noticed any loss of depth - I trust Bryce's observations even more so than mine...

    My SE bit the dust today! :( :shrug: :cry:

    Thought I'd try out an old school house where I've found some silver and relics at in the past. About half way through the hunt my audio drops to a level where it sounds super compressed almost like its coming out of a cheap AM radio. I've had this happen once or twice before, but then it...

    Hey Jules...

    Did you finally dig the signal to see if it was in fact iron (only)? Could have been a silver coin right next to a piece of iron. Funny that the ET would give you a signal like that for a piece of iron. Did it repeat in more than one direction?

    Hey Jules...

    Don't make it bad.... (sorry couldn't resist! :rofl:) Did you get your replacement V3 yet? Inquiring minds want to know :thumbup:

    When I say "obsolete" I mean not current. If I buy a laptop and I discover that my BIOS is backdated even though I can still use the laptop fine, I just feel that I should have gotten the lastest BIOS revision....look bottom line is that Whites did the right thing -- I commend them --...

    Andy, OK, defective may have been somewhat too strong a word - how about we agree on the term obsolete. If the current version of the software is version 3 and someone buys a brand new unit and it comes with version 1, then the unit is by definition obsolete. When I bought my first Explorer...
