Nickels come in at 25 most of the time (air test) on the simplex in F2. If I use the frequency shift and choose F1 it will now make the nickel ID a 20. It does not seem to affect the other coins ID numbers. This doesn't seem right. I have the latest update. Does anyone else have this happen?

Is this a bug with the simplex?

I dont have a Simplex yet, but been considering one and reading all that I can. Now I know on my Sovereign GT it has a freq shift as it is band one and band 2 and notice this same thing as in band 1 the nickles read a bit lower, but in band 2 they are reading normal while other coins read the same on on either band 1 or 2. I have a SunRay DTI 3 meter and the numbers on the nickle are are 3 or 4 number different if I remember right.
It must be something with the different freq which changes to low conductivity targets, but dont effect the higher ones.
Now we will see if any one has this problem with the Simplex .

On the Multi Kruzer the three separate frequencies will provide a unique ID for each target in each frequency - This was a problem pointed out by Pre-production-testers.
They then made a default program you can turn on or off to provide a universal ID scale no matter which frequency you use to avoid ID confusion. Imagine having to memorize 3 different ID scales.
Using the default program a nickel would ID @ 30 in 5, 14 or 19 kHz
Perhaps this is what you are experiencing, a change in frequency is changing ID # slightly. I would expect all numbers to shift slightly though.

Sounds like a bug. EMI frequency shifting normally isn't enough to change VDI numbers 5 points.

I get the same. in F1 a nickel is 19/20.

In F3 a nickel will have a VDI of 25, same as F2. At least on My Simplex+.

Yes, it is normal. No, it is not a bug. All detectors will do this to a certain point. Even the XP Deus will do this, but it has an 'ID Normal' setting that normalizes the VID. Other detectors have that feature as well. You need to remember, the Simplex+ is an entry level detector for a reason. For the price, it can not be beat.
