So it’s been a year since the F75 upgrades started and I see you can get the F75 LTD for $1,099 now, which seems like a steal. I may be behind on this issue but I was just wondering if all the bugs were finally worked out. I own the F75 standard and it works great, excellent depth, I just dug a 1951 penny at 8” on default process, 50 - 70 sensitivity. Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated.

Mike , my Upgraded ( 3/15) F75 LTD -SE works great no issues. Know I just seen where First Texes is offering that same upgrade for a limited time. Instead of buying a new one , if it was me , I would send your F75 you have in for the upgrade . It will be like a new machine for a fraction of the cost. Plus they offer a warrantee . JMO. GS

The DST feature of the LTD2 is well worth it whether you buy new or upgrade the one you already have. I added one to my collection earlier this year and really like it. The older F75 machines have a rep for being crippled by EMI but I can fiddle with the settings and run this unit in places I have to avoid with my FBS machine and other VLF units. If I remember this weekend I will take a picture of the power lines I was hunting under yesterday and the silver I found while so.

I had the upgrade done to my original F75. Glad I did! I love it!!!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback guys. I just ordered the F75 LTD and should have it by the weekend. Like most I've watching the videos and with the additional mode, bp, it should kick butt! I can give my F75, original version to my son. I'm routinely digging pennies and dimes to 8" with that F75. Thanks again.
I had a standard F75 for over 6 years and loved it. But getting it stable was a problem sometime. I had to try an XP Deus but regretted that move quickly, even thought it found me good stuff. I traded the XP deus for a brand new F75 LTD 2. Man what a machine that is! I really love the Fast Audio process. And the stability of the machine is so much better. Even with DISC at 0, I can run it at SENS 99 almost all the time.
The only XP thing I still use is their small foldable headphone that sits on the back of your head. It has a great sound.

I upgraded mine in the first round and I don't regret doing it. I didn't get one of the so called bugs but I did have a problem, they didn't hook up the back meter back light and I had to send it back.
As I was telling another forum member this is a good opportunity to get your 75 back in shape, just let them know if you have some kind of issue and I think within reason they will take care of it. My 2 issues were, I had a battery leak and corroded one of my contact, they replaced it. The other was my depth reading was way off on coins, like double and the calibrated it and it is a lot better now.
I had another forum member tell me they replaced one on his coils and he didn't know was bad and a scratched meter screen.
That new FA processor is worth the cost of the upgrade alone.
Just something to think about, they give the machines a pretty good work over.

The update with warranty is being offered until Mar.16/16.
I have tried running the F75 with the DST on and shut off. Its like night and day.
FA mode is in the upgrade, and makes separation so effective that you can pull tiny targets out of garbage sites.

Welcome to the forum Pinpointer.
I had a love/hate relationship with my old Camo LTD unit. It was great, most times but could be crippled. Sent it for the upgrade and it is a new machine. Fisher rocks! The new FA alone is a great bonus. I used to brace myself for the EMI noise but no more. F75s are great. Let us know how you do, think you will love it. Turn on the BP and dig in that tall grass where other machines fear to go.

I own the latest F75 ltd SE DST.
This comes by default with the DST "engaged " and you have to disengage the DST manually , if you don`t want it to be in operation (often I do not need it) so I have it ,so that it when I switch it on , it does not engage DST.
Its a well know matter of fact ,that by having DST engaged this ,will lose you depth . I`m wondering (because I don`t know), if the people that send their F75`s in for the full "upgrade " get DST included in the upgrade ,and if so ,do they know that by having DST coming on by default ,that they are losing depth ? Do they even know how to change it out of DST engaged ,to DST disengaged even ?
The reason I ask, is because I hear of people complaining that their latest F75 SE with DST doesn`t appear to be getting the depth they think it should be getting. And I then think ,"I wonder if they are searching with DST engaged and they don`t realize it ,when often there`s no need to have it engaged unless there`s a lot of Electrical interference about ?
