If designing a metal detector to be electronically updated is NOT such a good idea why does it seem most of the new releases medium and higher priced now are? Oh and even the elcheapo Simplex+ allows.
I think a detector being able to be updated via Internet is GRAND. So the paying customers as it turned out indeed was less of a hassle having NOT to ship their detector off doing without it.Īnd the backlight being changed on Nox 600 was grand to with update. Right? Shipping cost have went up quite a bit.
Imagine if Minelab would have paid for shipping (even just return) shipping for all the EQXs folks owned at the time when the update was done to fix EQX struggling on big silver coins on edge in certain detect modes. MonteSome folks may have been wondering especially folks who have the units.Īllowing owners to update a metal detector to fix glitches sounds so much like common sense. There's not a model out that I've ever used that I couldn't find something I would like to see 'fixed' or 'changed' or 'updated.' Not that all of them can be, or could be, or that the manufacturer would want to.
Why not an 'update' to add manual GB adjustment to the White's MXT All Pro or MX-7 or MX Sport? Nope, not 'updateable' or 'fixable.'īut all of these models work as they should, just like the XP ORX devices. Or maybe do an 'update' to he famous T2 series so it will have the Ground Balance adjustment functioning in the Discriminate modes and not just All Metal? Nope, their only going to have the preset GB. How about having them 'update' the Fisher F44 and siblings to have the audio glitch fixed in the other modes to work like the Jewelry mode? I was told they can't fix it. If they can't make it right or at least functional, buy and use something that works the way you want and maybe a manufacturer will figure that out and make the next offering better. So many people think everything today needs to be 'updateable.' Phooey. → → → → THE ORX DOESN'T NEED ANY UPDATES!! ← ← ← ←
