"FMF" is merely an advertising term used to try and make it look like the D2 has new technology. Just like the XP terms of "Silencer" (Iron Bias), and "Reactivity" (Recovery Speed). "Fast" in FMF means absolutely nothing. The speed at which a detector transmits and analyzes the target signal, is based on the processor speed, and even old processors are fast enough to do that extraordinarily well.
Go ahead and ask XP what new performance technology the D2 has. The answer will be crickets. Just like the crickets I received when asking XP to clarify their water intrusion warranty.
Furthermore, your comment of, "Oh and Deus 2 is first multi freq detector that has salt adjustability setting". Are you sure no other detector has that setting? Is such a setting needed? Does the Atrex have that setting? What about the Legend with it's salt modes and it's beach "Salt Stability" settings?
The Legend got the salt adjustability setting after Deus 2 release. And why is it not as deep as Deus 2 in wet salt sand. Like you say just freq and power is used. Real simple right? Wrong!! Actually Legend with 11” coil would be doing well to keep up with Deus 2 with 9” coil in such environment.
Have you noticed.
There are some test done on top of the ground. 11” coil vs 11” coil. EQX fails and Deus 2 passes with flying colors. Why?
You think because a manufacturer didn’t flaunt their product with flowery tech names it is not better in any way.
Let’s see.
If Deus 2 performance mirrored EQX 800 performance how many Deus 2 units would have been sold? Cat would have come out of the bag and quick. Deus 2 for price would have been disgrace.
Something else for you to think about.
Xp made the best single freqs ops detectors in iron. Remember the name of the tech they bragged about? Nope. Because there was never no name given.
Add to this. Xp as far as I know according to engineer Danksowki Xp goldmaxx power platform actually breaks laws of physics according to him. And Mr Dandowski even goes as far as which test one can do and and see this for themselves. This was single freq ops. Btw, another competitor (I won’t even mention here or anywhere for that matter) made a 19khz unit. Guess what even the higher freq 19 kHz umit couldn’t keep up with goldmaxx power unit operating at lower frequency. So Xp somehow did find a way to make superior singles freq units in iron. Question is did some of this rub off on their FMF platform? My hunch is big fat YES.
Also worth noting.
Xp chose to use multiple freq options per some detect programs unlike What is used on FBS and Multi IQ unit’s. Question is why didn’t Xp follow suit here with their FMF platform? Or did they indeed see weakness with FBS and Multi IQ use of freqs and found a better way?
I watched all the BS talk.
When Deus 2 was first showed on wet salt beach with its amazing depth. First thing the naysayers stated saying oh it must be a ghost hole machine.
That was proven wrong.
Then a test was done with a gold coin and nails using 9” coil passing with flying colors against Nox and 11” coil. Then the folks were quick to blame it all on the smaller coil the deus 2 had.
Then the 11” coil was shown while on Deus 2 doing some similar test again spanking EQX.
Guess the naysayers couldn’t find a way to wiggle out of that one. Lol
Using the term TECH, I could care less about a name given to tech supposedly used in a VLF detector. What I want is performance advantage.
