We had to get ugly, but they delivered it about 7:00pm this evening. I got it together and put some batteries in it and it did come on. I will try to get setup and get some numbers posted tomorrow.

Glad it finally came. Shame you had to get ugly with them but sometimes you just have to.

I done a round of testing last night, and then again this morning to check my numbers. For now on the non upgrade numbers I used test numbers from this same machine before upgrade.
I am not seeing any real bad numbers, but nothing wow either.

My biggest issue with first texas was emi.. I loved the balance, weight, speed, screen, options etc.. Now listening to the non stop chatter gets tiring in a short while...just being silent and hearing those faint deep targets were what sold me..i didnt care if it wasnt any deeper than old version..these detectors are so deep anyway that very few companies can come close..i was sold when i used the f75se2 over some black dirt that the etrac in auto sens dropped to 5 and struggled to find anything, the f75 never lost its cool..no chatter even at 99 sens and i found alot of missed targets in this area..it was like virgin ground..even the pinpointer went nuts..i dont know how the fisher was able to do it but i am very happy with results.. Non of my whites could find anything in that area either...im hunting in places that i wasnt able before except with etrac due to emi..but extreme nail infested the etrac didnt do very well for me...so the numbers tell me same or similar depth of old machines but fun to use..

Ron thanks for the effort with your new chart. Question: does the upgraded 75 have a CL process? Below are some numbers from one of your old charts with the CL process and it is deeeeep.
11DD disc. 15 Bp= 12" CL= 14"
disc. 65 BP=12 CL=14"
6.5" disc. 15 BP=10" CL=13"
disc. 65 BP=11" CL=13"
5" disc. 15 BP=10" CL=12"
disc. 65 BP=12" CL=12"

So Ron, are evaluating the new tone options and FA process?
Do your tones sound cleaner or sharper?
The default settings invite one to hunt with Zero Discrimination.
How does that affect your hunting strategy?

 

[togg77]

Ron thanks a million for your efforts--you have certainly helped me to sleep better.and I'm definately going to send in my as new 75LTD after the holidays.
What is amazing is that the 9.0, DST on, is as deep as the unaltered 75 in CL. Wheeeeeeeeeew !!!!

Coin Rescue,
I just started thinking about other options that I can tinker with, but I wanted to get the basic stuff checked. With all the problems that have been posted I was kind of concerned that I would be in for long battle with getting my machined fixed. But so far so good, I am still bothered that it seems no 2 machines give close to the same results. Either it is poor quality control or pilot error.
Now I can move on to tinkering.
Last night after finishing up the testing on CL mode I started thinking about that dime next to a nail deal you were talking about. So I rigged up a swing stick with a dime and a nail about an inch apart and done a factory reset and used those settings and notice when the coin was in the lead going over the coil I got a good tone and when the nail was in the lead I got the low grunt. I changed the tone to 1n and that cleaned it up. So I went back to the factory reset tone 2F and then run the disc up to 65 and that also cleaned it.
Back to 0 disc and changed to FA processor and that was pretty clean with the 2F tone setting. Then I switch to 3 tones and started picking up a lot of noise, but I could still get a good coin tone. I switched back to 2F and the noise stopped.
I don’t think running zero disc would bother me on a real hunt, I would for sure need to run some tones just to give me a hint that a coin may be down there. Like you said seems the default zero disc may be a hint to hunt that way.
For starters that is about it for me, getting past broken detector was the big issue.

Glad to help,

Just checking for understanding, if you are looking 9.0 DST numbers that are in the 13" and 14" range those are my motion all metal numbers.

For sure don't send yours in until after the holidays, you will be hunting down the delivery guy.

You know what you said about getting a ping swinging one way and a grunt the other way reminded me of several times in the past I would get a ping on as swing one way but nothing the other way.
I can now visualize that there might have been a coin next to a nail but somewhat separated from each other. I also realize that if you turn 90 degrees to the target it might pick up differently.
Did you happen to see the Digital readout?

Do you remember where all one way swing targets were.

No I couldn't see digital readout, the way I am setup I can't do the swing in front of the coil and see the inch numbers on the yard stick. Thinking I may need a second person.

I will retrace my steps tonight in my dreams looking for the one pingers.....lol

I got to get busy this weekend testing. High of 38. Will see how that works.

Yes that was my problem air testing. Get the ping and run back to the front to see the numbers.

Well, just unsnap the control housing from the staff and turn it anyway you want
