Hello,
The weather finally broke for a few hours and I got out with the NOX.
Keep in mind I am comparing this unit to the CTX only.
Lightning fast.
Very light.
Headphones are good, even for an old man who cant hear very well.
I went to three locations yesterday and today where I could put it to the test in iron/trash.
Set up the machine in park 1.
Set the threshold where I could here it. (it is zero default in park and field)
Swing speed 5. ( I will get to this later)
Discrimination pattern. 12-14, 23 and up only.
Noise cancel, balance left at zero.
All other settings at default.
Nickels at the first site seem to hit at 12-13. I pulled two jeffs and one buff in very heavy iron. Pull tabs are a little higher but will hit at 13. Coins hit a little harder and cleaner.
All other coins hit where advertised.
SWING SPEED seems to be one of the critical settings. If the unit is "falsing" or the good signal are "clipping", your swing speed setting is not correct for your style. I kept playing with this and the machine really stabilized. I am used to a slow swing with the CTX and kept reminding myself I could go faster.
Found some good stuff and will post in finds.
HH!
