[size=large]This post has been made a sticky to keep it readily accessible and is intended to allow Deus owners to post ideas or suggestions for XP to consider for future updates or revisions to the software that powers the Deus. It is not intended to become a battelground where rocks are thrown at other forum members or where demands for immediate satisfaction are directed to the XP Metal Detectors staff. The Deus is but one product in a line of equipment produced by XP and the US is but one market that the equipment is sold in. Some suggestions are currently available through means that may not be as simple as some would like but as the saying goes, "You can't please everyone all the time."
XP will continue to push the technology envelope when it comes to detectors; however, recognize that the Deus is but one facet of their overall corporate vison. Suggestions are always of interest but if you are hoping for / expecting another upgrade every few months, unfortunately you will be disappointed.
Posts in this thread that go off topic as had occurred previously will be removed. Individuals that opt to attack others or posters that demand rather than provide constructive feedback / suggestions will be warned and possibly blocked from future posts.
Please use this thread for its intended purpose so conflicts can be avoided
Thank you . . . . . .[/size]

I have seen a few ideas (and have a few of my own) that maybe Deus would be interested in implementing for US users...better to tell them what we need than to leave them in the dark about what users think would make this detector even more compelling for the US market.
1. Ability to decide which freq. you want to ID Normalize at
2. Why have two buttons for turning on/off the pinpointer.....seems like one button on/off would be easier to get used to.
3. Bring the X-Y visualization screen into the mainstream maybe by allowing you to turn it on then quickly switch between std. hunt screen and X-Y screen. I know its not 100% accurate, but it does provide one more piece of information and I have found it to be helpful in IDing bottle caps but its a pain to use.. Once enabled now, its 3 button pushes to get to it, then 3 button pushes to get out of it and back to std. hun t screen.
4. Create a mode where you could change the normal operation of the +/- keys from switching programs to switching frequencies instead. this would streamline some button pushing for those who like un-normalized TID to help with ID of bottle caps etc.
5. create a button function to allow you to get back to hunt screen with one button push instead of multiple pushes..ie, hold the return button down for extended period of time or something...etc..etc...
Just a thought, I love the idea of having the machine "internet upgrade-able".. Its one of the main reasons I initially purchased it. As long as the mfg. can reach out and create new flexibility and fix bugs, this machine is the first with a real "the sky is the limit" possibilities....
Just a thought.......

I'm not a programmer so I don't know how hard it would be to add this option as a download would be? I know the last version has the tweak to leave the headset set at the volume you had it set at when turning the Deus off,and back on again.That is a great feature. Maybe moving the NORM ID to a lower frequency,would require,more work than the volume tweak?
