    Another stinking draped bust 180?

    I received permission this morning to hunt a new place. Mosquitoes almost carried me away. I am using the 6 inch coil since I had to return mine for replacement, it makes for some slow going. I was happy to see this nice young lady say hello..

    So when will we get another software update or upgrade?

    The version we are all running on now is getting a bit long in the tooth. We had offered some good suggestions early on after the release date of the CTX with regards to things like more bins for combined, moving the clock somewhere where it won't get covered up by the target ID numbers, auto...
