At the present time I have two Simplex.One came with the 2.68 and have an extra new Nel 9.5"x5.5" d.d. coil for it.The other one is a new Simplex+ with the stock coil and is a 2.78 settings .Can some one tell me the difference in the depth and tones,etc for both of them?If I would hunt only for beach mode which would work best? Heard using the all-metal mode with ground balance would work for all around hunting?Big problem is my health have deaf and use glasses.Both detectors are like new and well cared for.Would appreciate some feed back on both detectors. Whats the different in all three 2.68,2.77,and 2.78?Thank you .

Can't tell you much about the beach stuff, but I have compared v2.68, v2.77, & v2.78.

I really didn't see any depth advantage in v2.68 so I went to v2.77 pretty quickly after testing. I found v2.77 very chirpy and excessively noisy. The only difference between v.277 & v2.78 is that v2.78 does not display the VDI numbers on iffy signals, which is unreliable anyway. v2.78 goes just as deep as v2.77 as far as audio tones, just the jumpy VDI is suppressed. That is my understanding.

How do you upgrade 2.68 to 2.77?james45
 
Well you cannot unless you can find someone that has the 2.77 Bin file saved to their PC and could convince them to send it to you you can go to 2.78, nokta no longer has the 2.77 update on their site 2.78 they do have

I got my first Simplex+ when they first came out and downloaded v2.68. Then when v2.77 came out I download it and still have them both. I got my new Simplex and it had v2.78 so I downgraded and tried both v2.68 & 2.77.

Well,at this point I have a10 year p.c. and i think the fire wall is blocking all incoming bin files so I have too many irons in the fire.S0 will keep a2.68 simplex and my other 2.78 simplex +.Thank you for all the help.--james
