Anyone else wondering about how or will this thing will actually update via USB? Only 4 pins on detector side of usb plug... I’ve plugged mine into a computer and doesn’t seem to have any communication. Only reason I’ve wondered this is that I’m hoping at some point the pinpoint “quirks” and iron falsing are better addressed. Definitely a learning curve coming from an explorer.

Think about this...... we dont even know if the first ones that came out are the same as those now being produced. Would ML tell us or out of the goodness of their heart admit changes were required due to a bug? Not many companies do..... until it becomes obvious. Geez... how long did it take to correct the CTX 0 rings. Most of us fixed that before they finely came around. You dont know what you dont know on new machines...........most people dont even know if their machine is tuned or working correctly ever. Then one day someone tells they..... thats not right it shouldnt be doing that. These forums play a huge part in information sharing that we never had before.
Dewcon - interesting post.
I’m not in possession of all details, but I think that ML has stuck with the initial issue software/hardware configuration for the life of their detector models, except for the 1 update for the CTX.
This makes some folks happy, they don’t have to worry if they have the “latest and greatest”.
Other companies seem to revise the software and probably hardware as production of a given model goes on. the good news is it it often an improvement - the other news is folks start obsessing about whether they have V 3.2 or V. 4.0, etc.
Most companies, somewhere in their published material state that they reserve the right to update specific items included in the production of a given model as production continues. I know that my Honda Civic had a change in a suspension component during a model year and they had to run my VIN to find out which component my car had.

Huge difference Rick...... no real oversight for MDers. WE have to bring about the changes. Rick..... most people can make a machine work....... or they get tired of dealing with things they dont like and go to another. In the case of that salt setting on the CTX...... if you have one guy saying.... look at the amount of gold im getting and everyone else is scratching their heads....... it leaves the average hunter saying ...... is this right or wrong? It takes some experienced hunters talking to each other to bring about change which hurt sales and these forums really do that. Before we just dealt with it...... because we didnt know. We always get the initial craziness over a good machine....... then it calms down and honesty kicks in..... plus the more machine out there the more people hunt together with them..... that can be an eye opener as well.
