    Racer 2 repair?

    I have Racer 2 that has periodically exhibited odd behavior (squealing, out of control display etc.) I probably should have sent it in when it first acted up, but it was an infrequent thing and I chalked it up to bad ground (the earth not the electronics).. But now it's simply unusable. I can't...

    Excalibur for land hunting?

    I have a White's V3I and while it's quite a machine, I'm thinking that I'm limiting myself with the fact that it's not waterproof. I Do also have an AT PRo and contrary to what all the "experts" around here tell me, it works pretty well in the ocean.. Just not too deep! I was looking to trade...

    Screen Locks up

    I've read others talk about having the V3i screen lock up and in addition to all the little gremlins that have plagued me through two V3i Machines (in the space of 3 months), I can now add this malfunction to the list. So has anyone determined what causes the machine to totally lock up? The only...

    V3i With a SunRay Probe ???

    You know, you may have qa point. I am on my second V3i and this one has been erratic since the day I got it (about a month and a half ago). I just had to send my 10'D2 coil back to them as it wasn't working. I had disconnected my DX-1 for the same reason, but I didn't really see any difference...

    Notching idea

    I have been thinking about the Notch function on the Racer 2. One of the things that I liked about the V3i was its ability to notch out any vdi number at will. Now with the Racer 2, of course, teh VDI numbes are a bit different, but just going by the numbers in the manual, and doing a little...

    V3i Hot & Cold

    I think you may have a point there. but honestly, after so many years out there with so many people reporting the SAME issue (that and the dreaded "shuts off by itself" problem) you would think that the engineers at WHITES would have a handle on what the screw up is. I LOVE the multi Frequency...

    V3i Hot & Cold

    I hear that alot. the question is after spending nearly 2ooo.oo on a metal detector, which CLEARLY puts it into the "HIGH END" category for most people, WHY DO I HAVE TO BUY AN AFTERMARKET COIL TO MAKE THE MACHINE FUNCTIONAL? There is a problem with WHITE'S that hasn't been addressed other...

    V3i Hot & Cold

    Just as an update, I had put the V3i down for a time as I was getting burned out with the constant issues. But I decided to give it another go and had made up my mind that if it found just one coin, I'd keep it, if not, it was going to a new home... Well as I have often theorized, machines have...

    WS4 or WS5 headphones?

    Preferences for headphones on the Deus? The WS4 look to be lighter and more comfortable, but the WS5 seek to have a better control interface. What are the users primarily using?

    Notch Question

    Am I reading the manual correctly when I see that the notch function encompasses 6 values? In other words, If I want to notch out 45 I have to notch between 43-47 inclusive? Or some other combination of 6 values? That makes no sense to me.

    Racer 2 backlight question

    According to the manual if you set the backlight on C1-5 it will stay on all the time. However, mine goes off after a short time unless it sees a target which is the exact same behavior I see when I set it to 1-5.. Again, I'm new to the machine so I ask just to be clear on the functions. At...

    5" Racer 2 coil not very deep

    I decided to try out the 5" coil that came with my Racer 2 Pro package after reading how sensitive and deep it is. I also watched the video from the manufacturer showing some pretty incredible air test distances. Now I'm quite happy with the performance on my stock large coil and was pretty...

    Mercury Dimes finally found

    The first Merc I ever found were in my side yard and like you, were within 6 inches of each other. Found them with a V3i as well. Found them on hunted to death ground that I had been over time and again, not only with the V3i, but with an AT Pro and a Bouinty Hunter... Just goes to show you...

    Racer 2 on the Beach

    I finally got a chance to take my Racer 2 to the beach today. While there wasn't a soul around and no one has been down to this beach this season, I thought it would be a good time to see how the Racer2 handles Salt Water, Wet Salt Sand and Dry Sand.. If this detector was waterproof, Garrett...

    5" Coil Setting Recommendations

    I have some work to do to get my Racer 2 dialed in, but it's coming along bit by bit. The nice thing is that there aren't 1000 adjustments to make to get the detector to work. You can only go so far out of whack. and even then, the machine will STILL detect. So with some careful studying of the...

    Racer 2 arrived today

    My Racer 2 arrived today. I have to say that I am very impressed with the quality and solid build of this detector. My only minor nag is that the stock coil is a brick! You could run this thing over with a tank and not hurt it. It does make a super light detector a bit nose heavy, but all in...

    V3i Hot & Cold

    Thanks Mike: I often run in AUTOTRACK but lately have been running LOCKTRACK. Not enough time with it to see if there is a notable difference. I have been experimenting with the Mixed Mode Pro which works very well if you have earphones on. The good signal is in one ear and the bad ones are in...

    V3i Hot & Cold

    In the air the V3i will see the nickel at about 8" and report it at a solid +19. That's with TXB OFF. Sensitivity at 13. I noticed that there was quite a bit of EMI where I had located my Test Site and used the filters and gain to quiet it down. I tried some well known "HOT" programs and they...

    V3i Hot & Cold

    I posted this on another forum and got some opinions there, but I am interested in getting as many ideas or suggestions as possible. I know there is spillover in membership between here and other forums so if you've chimed in at the other place you can ignore this post. Thanks in advance for any...

    V3i With a SunRay Probe ???

    Well now that I've finished my bowl of crow, I have to admit that I really like my DX-1..Which I bought shortly after I called it 'pointless". It won't take the place of a TRX, but it's really handy, especially once you get the hang of using it. Not as much depth, but I really find it to be...
