So glad you made this, but I can't tell which version of the firmware you are using. The newest one for 2024 or the previous one. Also, I realize you are very experienced at using these detectors. I've found when testing depth or test results with the 900, that using DP tones goes deeper and produces much better results. I use DP tones all the time unless I have some custom shallow search going on. Thanks for the video!👍
@@johnnyhiett 2024 latest update (as of date of this video). Occasionally use Dp when water hunting. Reverted back to a 900 recently, after my second manticore developed an issue that muffles the speaker’s ability to work (when subject to tons of submersion).
@@johnnyhiett hadn’t ran it other than with the update. I had one very briefly to test prior to this, pre-update, but switched to a manticore right away when those came out. I’m actually liking this 900 quite a bit, maybe because of using an 800 for a few years.
@UABFWSS Understood. I ran the 800 about 2 years till the 900 came out. Of that about 300 days of Florida beach and in-water detecting. No leaks. About 40 days of KY clay soil relic hunting. I got the 1st 900 that sold in Florida and have used it with the same duty days. I didn't consider getting the Manticore. Equinox was lighter, shared coils with my 800, red backlight for turtle season, common menu to 800, perhaps better battery life. And now can use the Xterra coils etc. Of course cheaper. It is amazing.

Thanks! I understand now.
Have you had any difficulty or advantage with the firmware upgrade?
Thanks!
