here is a email I sent to Andy at We Dig

OK Andy as you requested and discussed on the Phone

without the Bluetooth activated in the Legend the threshold seems to work fine

the below findings are with the Bluetooth activated in the Legend control pod using various wireless earbuds and the supplied wireless headphones from Nokta/Macro

using a set of Black Shark T4 earbuds they are low latency at35 Ms here is what I found with these there is no threshold sound until you set the threshold at a setting of 9-30 the volume has to be at 6 in the control pod at a volume setting of 5-1 there is no sound it was the same with several other brands of low latency earbuds

with the Nokta/Macro supplied wireless headphones my findings below

volume of 2 on control pod there is no threshold sound until the legend is set at a threshold of 6 at a threshold setting of 1-5 there is no threshold sound

At a volume of 3 on the control pod there is no threshold sound until you are at a setting of 4 on the threshold settings no threshold sound below a setting of 4

with volume set at 4 there is no threshold sound until at a threshold setting of 3 volume level at 5 it is the same as volume level 4 no threshold sound until a threshold setting of 3

at a volume setting of 6 on the control pod you can hear the threshold sound at a setting of 2 -30, but at a threshold setting of 1 again there is no threshold sound at a 1 setting

I hope this all makes since and yes I think Nokta/Macro needs to look into this or at the vary least inform Legend users of my findings

Thanks Andy for taking the time to read this and informing Nokta/Macro

the last thing I will say the issue is not with the Earbuds or the supplied Nokta/Macro wireless headphones because all the earbuds I tested and the supplied wireless headphones that came with the Legend works flawlessly when I connect them to a wireless Bluetooth transmitter that I use with my Garret 24K it is something in the Bluetooth in the Legend
 
The most recent threshold update made the threshold a lot better than it originally was. Back last spring and summer, at least on my Legend using Bluetooth, the threshold did not kick in until it was set to level 9 no matter what volume level was being used. On top of that, it just suddenly came on at 9 at a really high volume level on my Legend.

What Nokta did for this most recent update is a big improvement. They may or may not be done yet with tweaking it. At least there is some gradual increase in threshold volume. Having the overall volume level set at a certain point for the threshold to become audible is a little weird but I can deal with it.

I agree with the threshold being better I have installed the threshold update, but in my opinion it is still not correct and needs to be looked at, the only way to get them to look at problems is to report our findings

the same with the Ground Balance where I detect my legend will initially give me a mid to high 90s ground balance value then when you start detecting it will begin a count down until it hits zero then my Legend will become UN stable (and no I am not running tracking), I do a auto ground balance and start detecting the Legend will then start dropping the GB value to Zero

the GB is not correct

I do understand what Nokta/Macro did with the Ground Balance but not on highly mineralized ground, the ground I detect on the new mineralization meter recently installed with the 1.09 update my ground literally pegs the iron particle side of the meter and on the salt side it reads 3-5 bars of salt by those readings my Legend should not go to a zero ground balance value

again the ground balance is not correct on the Legend
 
Ground balance is fine on my Legend and most of the places I hunt are 8 of 10 bars of magnetite mineralization.

I am also satisfied with the current Bluetooth threshold situation. If they can make it even better…..great.
