Anybody besides me get program happy?

[Mike Hillis]

I find myself getting program happy.

Creating stuff like "TinyGoldVCO" for hunting stuff in the -30 to +5 range (normalized). Getting to where my evenings are involved in custom creations, tones, displays, disc patterns, etc.

I'm not very good at it yet, still have trouble getting things to change correctly but I'm slowly working it out, bit by bit.

Kind of fun. Better than TV.

I have a few programs set for sites that are drastically different from everything else . Most of the time I'm just using the same program and tweak as I got

Still learning my machine about the only changes I have done is the recovery delay (45 in Hi-Pro ~ 60 in coin / jewelry
And turn pinpoint VCO on in coin and coin / jewelry programs ..

Thanks

Try mixed mode.

Makes me wish that White's would introduce a wireless USB dongle that could connect to the V3i for quick copying of programs!

Initially I tried setting up multiple programs and found the need to modify too many setting on the fly to gain performance as conditions change. I've tailored tones and discrimination to my liking and adjust sensitivity, filters, transmit freq & recovery delay on the fly to adjust for conditions and coil in use on the fly.

It was Whites intention to have update capabilities on the Vision - V3 but Minelab owns the patent for updating metal detectors via data transfering devies by end users. That is why Minelab is suing XP Detectors because of thede use of usb updating by end users.

See this link on Steve Herschbach's Detector Prospector forum - http://www.detectorprospector.com/forum/

Whites rolled over when threatned with a suit - XP will have to decide whether to fight it.

We just need to hang out for a while and let the Minelab company self destruct. Then and only then Whites can move forward with this idea of updating via USB. Just seeing all of Minelab's distribution and manufacturing facilities closing in the USA leads me to believe that they are going down fast.

They are far from closing they sell more machines than any other company. Heck when it comes to beach hunting rh Excalibur is the gold standard. Nobody else makes a machine that's as good. Mine of course is a bit better as it's a Irish excal.
