Good morning. After using my nox and getting my butt kicked by my buddy and his deus I have been doing some research on why... He was hitting on things that sounded really good and my nox just wasn't giving any type of dig me signals.. so what I am seeing is the deus is more relaxed when it comes to settings. In other words it can be off on your settings some and it still hits good on targets. The nox not so much. This is just from what I've been seeing in serious iron nail littered sites. I did an elevated nail over a dime test... A nail 2" above the dime I would keep sliding dime in closer til the nox could not pick it up on a standard to slow swing speed. If I used any iron bias the dime disappeared. I tried all speed settings from 1-8. Same results. So iron bias stayed at 0.. now as far as speed goes I heard the best signal on 4-6 even pretty good down to 1. On 8 it was so clipped even at a snail's crawl . Sensitivity did not seem to change anything til I was down to like 10-12.. but running 25 was fine. So the iron bias may have been why I was not matching the deus my buddy has the other day on targets in beds of nails.
So now I tested the deus where I left the dime at the point the nox could not hit it... The deus hit it once I raised frequency to 11.. then smoother at 17 and the perfectly clear on 25.7 kHz.. that was reactivity 2 iron audio 2 deep mode, 11" x35 coil. I moved the dime in to edge of block where nail was 2" above and tried. Bad signal.. set reactivity to 2.5 and it started hitting it. Went to 3 and I could swing kind of fast. At 4 I could swing as fast as I wanted and it picked the dime up just fine. ..the Id was obviously off and reading down to 1-5 but tone was great! now I tried every configuration on the nox and no go. Even single frequency up to 40. Nothing worked til the dime was 3-4 or more inches away..
