What are the changes on the new VS 1,17

Better pinpointing is one. I have 1.16 beta which i am keeping for the next few months. I tried them all but i do like the 1.16 beta. To be honest i think update over kill
went totally stupid in the end. I hope they don't do this sort of thing with legend 2 or what ever it's name will be. It finished up with update to order according to what a few
testers "namely one " in Northern England wanted. Now he has sold his legend . On my sites i found little difference between any updates.

The main change was reducing the bias of IF 0. It now is pretty much completely open now at that setting. I'm not sure how usable it will be for me. IF 1 seems best on my sites. Nice to have the added flexibility.

Whatever they tweaked on the pinpoint I believe they overdid it. Before..it wouldn't hold the signal, now at times it won't let it go, noticed it again today on my third outing on 1.17.

History revisited who is a tester claims the normal detecting modes "suffered" in some way as a result of the "BEAST MODE" been added. Now 1.17 is a total fix to everything bad that
was supposed to have happened. This is what happens when the things start to get messed around with too much. Beast mode should never have been there in the first place IMHO.

Since I have 2 Legends, I have tested each update since V 1.07. Each one has brought real gains in performance. Since V1.15, the Legend is certainly full feature wise & the user interface is over taxed, but I don’t think the processor is lagging.

I have found the pinpointing is great on V1.16. No problems at all. It pinpoints a treat for me, before the update pinpointing was not nearly as tight. It gets a 9 out of ten for me.

I am sure no more performance could be squeezed out of the Legend. The thing has no more juice worth trying to squeeze out. VLF pushed to the limits.

Maybe. Maybe not. I will happily hunt with what I have while waiting to see.

Downloaded 1.17 last week, but haven't used it yet.
