Sticky Trigger or Software Issue?

[Neil in West Jersey]

I noticed on my last few outings that when I am pinpointing a target the V3 sometimes "sticks" in Pinpoint mode after releasing the trigger for about three seconds before returning to Search. At first I thought it was the toggle switch, but the switch itself is operating normally. It seems as if the software is causing a slight lag. If I double click the toggle it returns to Search right away.

Has anyone else experienced any type of lag while using the V3? Please don't limit your answers to pinpoint only.

(If I send it in for repair I will get the V3i upgrade. Will I still have to spend $25 shipping?)

Where is your fade rate for the pinpoint set?

I did notice it on my V3 last weekend Neil, but it only happened on trash targets that were right under the surface. I waited the extra second and it recovered.

I too have that problem,thought it was a sticky trigger.I know when GBing you have to let go of the trigger and button in the right order or it does it too. Yazoo

Just stared doing it more and more about a month ago, with the coil and the DX-1 also. Mine will get stuck with the sound and screen both and I have to sometimes toggle the switch to get it to release, it

Yes mine lags to. Sometimes I get the three bars and no sound or just sound and no bars or it freezes with tone on. Yesterday while going through some menus the tone for scrolling through the menus was sticking on and it was really lagging and froze up much like a computer that's full of spyware or doesn't have enough ram.

That is a good way to describe it.
