whats the difference folks---quanturm xt vs.idx pro:look:

QXT is an older model and IDX pro a newer model and IDX pro went over well while the QXT did not..I would Google both and compare as many differences would be my suggestion...
 
If you want the ability to assign high, low, and all metal tones to any of 8 notch zones you'll want the QXT. The IDX has variable discrimination, which is useful in it's own respect, but I can't live without my high tones as I mostly hunt by ear with zero discrimination. It's killer in the thick trash.
 
Well, the IDX and QXT came and went at about the same time, so there's no newer or older difference. The QXT is totally adjustable and has many features the IDX doesn't. The IDX is a turn on and go machine with no fuss about it. The QXT is a finnicky machine which seemed to turn people off. If you want easy IDX- if you want to tinker and play with many adjustable settings QXT. Both are good btw, just different.

I always thought the QXT was one of the easiest machines I've ever used. Once you set the program up properly it will always be there when you turn it back on. I rarely have to dip back into the settings at most sites. I prefer hunting by ear without anything edited out, even the ground and iron signals. I then just set high tones to the targets I'm interested in and lows to everything else. I'll listen for any highs mixed in with trash or any deep lows that can often be a coin real deep and will produce the proper high tone/ID by quickly doing short sweeps over the target. That's were this machine will really get the extra depth not seen on other machines. It's important to set it up right, though. Load the coin program. Turn noise reduction OFF. Accept everything in the discrimination and then assign high tones to what zones you want. Sensitivity is usualy set at 16 on the QXT. The QXT Pro is the same exact machine but I find I can get up to 18 at most sites. Pinput at 16 usualy. VCO ON.
