Curious if anyone else has this issue. I have only had this detector a few days. Coming from an Etrac. First day of use the noise cancel works fine. First real hunt I go to noise cancel and it goes to up to 2 and stops. Doesn't finish the pass, just hangs at 2. I was going to do a master reset but have a couple patterns saved already so I thought I would ask here first.

Yeah, still dont know why its hanging though. I'll do a reset and see if that fixes things. Worked fine out back when I was just putting around checking out the detector.

You need to link to the Xchange for software updates prior to using it.

I’ve used about all modern ones but right now: CTX 3030, White’s MXT Pro, XP Deus, Vaquero, White’s TRX

I've never seen that happened. The only way I know of how to cancel the noise cancel process is hitting the pinpoint button. I would check for a software update and go from there.

So I did a "settings" reset and now it works fine again? Not sure what happened but I will keep an eye on it.

Thx - Brian

I had mine hang once when I was doing some rapidfire button pushing. Probably glitched the software. Followed Rule #1 on computer repair and turned it off and back on. That was hundreds of hours ago and no problem since.

Yeah, power on and off was the first thing I did. That didn't work for me but the reset option did. Who knows.

Remember it is a detector with a built in computer.....Computers have software glitches...

I have a ctx 3030 and noticed that if a Garrett At pro or GTA 1350 come within ten to twenty feet of me, My Ctx 3030 won't detect anything, once they move farther away I can detect coins etc again. Is this a noise cancel problem or any one else have this problem?

It is interference from the transmitting of the other detectors.
