    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...

    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...

    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...

    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

    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...
