White's Spectra V3i being resurrected by Garrett?

It appears the Garrett Vortex could be the updated White's Spectra V3i? Garrett acquired White's metal detector? I believe the 'simultaneous' multifrequency metal detector leader is undisputedly the V3i? No other 'simultaneous' metal detector had adequate information on the screen as the V3i? There appears to be a glitch in the VDI in simultaneous search. I feel certain the company will fix it with updated software? Have many others been observing the Garrett Vortex and had similar opinions?

they could put v3i in a different case, like waterproof and even a different color, like black and blue or something, then they would have something. I don't think the vortex is even going to come close to it. Haven't heard any further info about it, so maybe they treat us like the weatherman do, say it's coming then flop out
 
Undisputedly, the metal detector world has moved into the software world. I have observed another company made corrections through their software. Garrett has acquired White's? Therefore, should there be no copyright issues? I believe the Vortex will be an awesome simultaneous frequency machine.
 
This is not rocket science. c/p White’s has chosen to normalize them all to a standard VDI scale. Therefore, a US nickel detected with a 6kHz detector will have the same VDI as with a 15kHz detector. For historical reasons, the standard VDI scale is based on a 6.592kHz detector. The standard VDI scale is shown below. Ante. For years an age-old adage a leopards' spots never changes I never did doubt the breadth of that statement. An aerial view of the leopard, front view, or side view show the leopards' spots and they remain the same when going back and taking another picture, they are still the same. When a multi-frequency 'simultaneous' metal detector searches for a VDI below the ground that VDI cannot possibly change The VDI indicates the target. The Garrett/White's V3i and the Vortex in my opinion cannot possibly fail to be extremely competitive. Does Garrett have the intellectual property copyrights to the 'simultaneous' multifrequency metal detector? None of the other 'simultaneous' metal detectors have adequate information on the screen like the V3i? Imagine swinging a multi-frequency metal detector that is 'simultaneous' and very little information on the screen what could the operator possibly say other than my machine is 'chatty'. Beep, beep, beep.
 
Almost makes me want to try the V3i this year, maybe. Actually I have the Vision Spectra, shortly after the dealers said there was some update so he took it back, sent it in, then return Vision Spectra and it has a label "Embedded Update i" something like that.
All I ever did was power it up but never really took it out for a swing. Now the NiCad battery pack is dead - but I also have the pack that takes something like eight AA batteries and I have loads of eneloop AA batteries, which also works for the wireless headphones. Sure seems loaded with all kinds of menus/settings - especially compared to my Compadre :D
 
don't think its made it to my house yet, was visiting my dad in vegas, he's getting well along in years, going to see him as much as possible before the enevitable. If its there i will power it up and take it out
