Starts out that I got a Vision last spring.Later I had audio troubles sent it in swapped out for a Spectra, very quickly I might add.The Vision I had found stuff at 10-13 inch mark.The Spectra has not pulled up anything past the 10 inch mark yet.Another thing I have noticed is air testing,The Vision in certain modes and tweaked a little I could get a air test of 16-20 inches,same coils and tweaks on the Spectra lucky to get 15-16 inches.May not sound like alot but it appears for some reason that the old Vision was a tad hotter.Then again on the in ground depth ,maybe there have been no deep targets yet.Will keep testing and watching this idea. Maybe it needs a few factory adjustments.Anybody else noticed this if you had a trade off from vision to spectra? This is my observation so far. H.H. Yazoo

Vision verses Spectra V3

I haven't noticed any difference in the V3 Yazoo, but I think a problem has surfaced with some of the coils going out of specs. I'm going to ask Carl to make a statement on the issue and he has a simple test, I have been told to see if your coils are still in proper null.

Larry ... spoke to carl regarding this issue only yesterday and a statement is imminent !!!. dont worry everybody though the chances of you having a duff coil are very slight.

My testing has been done with several different coils.The stock D2 ,and 2 excelerator coils being the 10x14 and a 8inch DD.I have the new super 12 but it fares no better,and never got to try it on the vision.I know that these 2 detectors are supposed to be 1 and the same but it looks like my original vision was hotter.

After sending my Vision in for the software update AND "POD" replacement, also change out the 10DD coil, I got the Vision back and things ARE different.
I had been using the BigFOOT coil and strange thing would happen. Like a quarter would pinpoint off the BACK half of the coil ! ! ! And those "Crown" bottle caps that hit like a quarter--they would pinpoint off the FRONT half of the coil. Kind of nice to tell the two types of targets apart.
After getting the Vision back from White's software update and repair of "POD", things ARE different.
The BigFOOT coil now works normal--ALL pinpointing is off the FRONT half of the coil.
Cool tip for the BigFOOT user:
Analyze with the BigFOOT coil: A target under the FRONT half of the coil= "Hump" is up.
A target under the BACK half of the coil= "Hump" is down.
With two targets: you may see a :Hump up and down on the same display.
