No problem. The three pots stacked right below the one labeled "VDI Bars" adjusts the VDI sensitivity and the ID spread if I remember correctly, but I'm not sure which of the two does this, and what the third of those does, I can't remember. If you plan to tweak the VDI, it makes for neat stuff you can do, like expand the mid range if you park hunt and want to see a broader sp

I believe the Cortes and Deleon share the same pcb layout with the Cortes just having more features and a different micro. (Edit: You can see the Cortes Rev 2 printed on the pcb at the bottom right.)
This is a pic of the Deleon. Tweaked out the D will hit and ID accurately a 9" dime in my test garden (9x8 coil), wouldn't doubt the C might be able to do better.
Edit: Tried

9" concentric, tight in iron like the Tesoro 9x8.
And again, the 3x18 Tesoro cleansweep style coil or Bigfoot. This coil alone would merit a Nokta/Makro unit in the arsenal for a bunch of park hunters. There's no way I could pass up owning one. I currently dont have any Nokta/Makro machines but I would buy one just for this coil.

Get the simplex before trump in his "great and unmatched wisdom" (twitter, his quote today), goes and "obliterate the Economy of Turkey "..
Really though, Im looking forward to anything Nokta puts out. Metal detecting needs all the innovation and manufacturer competition we consumers can take. Keep up the good work Nokta!
I'll be getting Simplex here in the next li

The weakest point of the Nox is its pinpoint IMO. For a machine with so much tunability being stuck with a ratcheting PP is mind numbing. I guess my 20 year old Bandido with its auto retune and normal VCO PP were way beyond its time..
I agree that using the Nox in moderate to heavy iron requires locking on the target (consistent VDI and audio) and digging, PP is nearly worthless. But from wha

340 = $199
440 = $279
540 = $369
540+ = $499
Multi IQ at 199$.. you wet sand hunters are in for it if that thing gets good depth. Imagine, everyone and their brother will have a beach (wet sand) capable machine now.

Went to Colorado last year and I can tell you that if someone out there would have spiked my cake with some of that, I would have bought them some more cake mix.

Wouldn't mind that in a simple brass probe. Would need it to be silent unless contacting the metal object otherwise I think it would drive me nuts..
Also, I've killed more hand diggers than I can keep track of.. Cheap ones and handmade stainless steel ones that were thought to be unbreakable.. Time destroys all things.. and that digger might make it one season with me, but I doubt i

Wow those are some hefty words regarding the Equinox. I look forward to the updates..something to make the 6" worth owning. Speaking of the 6", buried a dime at about 8" in a local nail filled, old school and couldn't hit the dime for anything in multi.. switched to 5khz a boom there it was.. Need to get the 11 back out there and test it with it.. finished the day hunting in 5

I thought it was said that it would pair with any bluetooth phones?
Either way I'm fairly excited about this machine. If it performs as well in iron as the makro/nokta line up to this point.. its going to be a killer deal.

Unify the company name. Nokta...no more Makro.. I know newbies coming into the scene and the point in having to explain to them that it's one company with two names or two companies with one name is off putting. Maybe Im petty but I think you would just be doing yourself a favor Nokta/Makro..
Waterproof simple machine with a backlight, notching, multiple volume adjustments for 200-400$..
