Makro Racer

[H-D 1]

Just got a new one for Christmas and so far haven't gotten a chance to do anything with it. Seems like every time I walk outside it starts pouring the rain. Thinking about selling it to California to help with their drought problems but maybe the first day of the new year will be a better start.

Well the big maiden voyage didn't go as planed. As soon as it powers up the saturation alarm starts going off checked everything out and seems there's moisture in the coil. How it got there I have no idea I've never gotten to actually use it till today.

All is well the coil is going out tomorrow for warranty. Makro has a wonderful customer service to deal with. They were very prompt and easy to work with

I read in a review that the guy was finding coins at 18-20 inches. Is this normal
I couldn't find the Frequency/frequencies it worked on. About the same price as an AT Pro.

I couldn't tell you for sure I've had to send my coil off for warranty replacement. What little I have used it in my lawn it seems like a very hot machine.

Got my new coil last night everything tests out ok so I'm good to go. Had a real good experience with customer service and can't complain about one thing. 6 days from the morning I sent mine out until I received my new one back.

In disc mode it will hit half-dollar sized coins at 14 inches...in dirt...stock coil. With the larger RC40 coil it will hit the same coin at 16 inches.

In AM 18 inches could be a very real possibility with a larger 50c to $1 sized coin...or a non-US coin that is slightly larger than that....since they still qualify as "coins" last time I checked.

Just keeping it...real.

That is a close number as far as depth in my soil at a GB of 60, disk 20 and a gain of 98-99 Nokta Fors Core. The Fors Core and Makro Racer have almost identical gain/depth. With my test garden depth of 12-15" on a quarter. My soil mineral is very low however, South FL.Gamma 6000 with 11DD and ID300 in full gain all metal will hit it barely, none others on my list will. The Fors Core sounds reasonably clear enough to warrant a dig on these objects, the depth is equal that of a T2 DST or F75. Also the Fors Core and Makro work in the salt very well, even rivaling my DFX and ID300 in extremely salty wet sand beaches with very little loss of depth (10" on a coin soaking wet sand gain 98-99, GB 0, disc 20). I just wish the new Whites MX performs as well, love Whites.

L,O,L OK if you said so

I do say so...and so do both of these videos.

https://youtu.be/fGIcbiglLwA ----- 6:00 minute mark of the video...RC40 coil hits a 2 Euro at 42cm which equals 16 inches...that is disc mode. I think AM mode would get the extra 2 inches without issue.

https://youtu.be/sZDvfMZQ7cs ---- 16:20 of this video it hits a coin at 14 inches inches...stock coil...then goes on at 21:45 to hit the 16 inch coin with the RC40. Again...I think AM would get the extra 2 inches. Hits the jar of coins at 21 inches no problem.

Would a person dig these targets? Perhaps not. Does the machine hit the targets? Apparently so.

Anything else you need help keeping real...just let me know Kentucky.

Just got the perfect wireless setup for my Racer too.

As in title....i've found, bought and fully testes the P E R F E C T wireless setup for the Makro Racer.

How much lag?

The answer is a simple and truth NONE. ZERO. ZILCH...Nadda!!

No lag at all.

Ohhh, must be super expensive then??

NOPE!!

Total cost = £48.

First of all, forget any kind of Bluetooth, coz you are going to get lag. Eveneon though in some cases you may be lucky enough to only get a tiny amount of lag....but for us treasure hunters....we WANT, NEED and DEMAND ZERO lag for our awesome machines.

I have a 2.4Ghz unit, which unlike some other 2.4Ghz unnits do NOT lag or turn off by themselves etc.
1 x 3.5mm Jack (if your machine takes 3.5mm)

1 x 3.5mm to 6.35mm converter (if your machine takes 6.35mm Jacks)

1 x 2.4GHZ Headphone with USB cable for charging.

1 x Dual USB Charging Plug. Please Note this has a UK Plug, but if connected to an adapter can be used anywhere in the world (100V - 240V Supply).

Here are some pictures I took of the Wireless setup with my Racer etc:

This is the guy I bought them from on Ebay.
He's a really helpful dude and ships fast.

I was a bit dubious at first, thinking "hmmm, surely there has to be at least SOME lag" but NOPE....ZERO lag.

I'm soooo chuffed I could pi$$ meself...lol.
