2. For now..... ONLY dig good 'two-way' hits..... or better. Do not dig the one-way hits as of yet.
There is learning-curve rationale/justification for this. And.........MC factory presets are somewhat aggressive.
Well this has got me scratching my coil?

Thanks Tom for answering the question about the extra support webbing on the coil not being a winding itself. But why the extra support? I never knew this was the weak area of the coil? Also in the last video there was mention of the "soft keys" which I think is a great idea. Was there any talk about adding an fe number to the co number?

My F19 was a beast. I personally feel that the F19/G2 is the best machine offered by 1st Texas. I agree with Keith that the gain should be increased. I ran mine at 100% all the time and it was super quiet. I like to know that I'm using the max power on most machines. But felt the F19 had/has more to give. I dug nickels at 10 inches easy. Just ask Bill S. I found 2 Buffalo's belo

I believe it was said on a video that it has 2 equinox type batteries in the handle, making the handle a little more elongated. 7% more usable depth could mean 1-2 inches. I think that would open up another layer for me. My wife also said she could use another 7%! Just saying.

Personally I think the F19/G2 platform is the best machines 1st Texas offers. I wish it was waterproof.

This is why all my videos show live digs. I will not watch anyone's video that show a target already dug. Here is a statement I've heard time and time again on videos. "I didn't get this one on video. It had a sweet tone. The numbers were perfect. I knew it was gonna be good!" LOL. If you're not going to film this target then what are you doing making videos?

Out of all the accessories I've bought for my machines the RNB takes the #1 spot. I can grab my etrac after sitting and that battery is always full. Sometimes it's a month or more. The original battery after a couple of days was already at 75% and faded fast in the real world.
