Ya I'm sure they don't want all of us Beta testing there software. V4.1 for me was the worst release yet. I'll be waiting for the final release.
Side note loving the elliptical coil!

Andy sabisch put a WARNING post over on the other forum about 4.1 beta version
As a matter of fact, I said as much in post #6 of this thread. My detecting pal was on the phone with Andy, talking about some other business, when Andy cautioned him about that. Betas are beta for a reason.

There are 2 options here
1 - there is nothing wrong with the Beta release and they like most companies don't want non-public releases in the wild so make up a story it will brick your machine.
2 - there is an issue with V4.1 and they did a stand-up thing and warned customers not to use it.

*they should have warned us about the small pins on the HF coil or made a guide for the plug so pins don't get smooched

Yeah, they are overly sensitive about getting "real" sometimes.

Not worth it to me to take the chance on the beta. First of all, its just a tweak with no real detecting performance or feature gain versus V 4. I really am not having problems with pinpointer connection enough to take the chance. Even under warranty, who wants to lose use of their detector for days or however long they need to fix it. Also, with the Beta, I wonder if they would pull something negative regarding warranty service after they warned people not to use. Who knows, but who needs the headache for basically a nothing update.

Well, it's been three months since I last posted in this thread. I used v4.1 beta 1 for a while. Didn't really notice a difference. Then beta 2 came out and I d/l'ed that one. Not really sure what happened between beta 1 and beta 2, but man, the improvements to this machine are right on target. Not sure what they did, but it doesn't seem to false quite as bad on big iron anymore and it seems to have a more recognizable and cleaner tone whenever it's over nonferrous objects, if that makes any sense. Can't wait to see how the official version will be.

According to Andy Sabisch, 4.1 is purely addressing the disconnect issues associated with the new pinpointer and other minor bug fixes but has absolutely no documented performance or functional changes with respect to EMI or the way target signals are processed (e.g., falsing) So dunno why it appears to be improving noise/target signals as reported by LB4S. The reason it is taking so long to get out of beta is that XP is having trouble addressing all the different variables that affect disconnects so they can reliably prevent them. The are very close to releasing a final 4.1 version.

Yeah, not sure. I haven't had connection issues at all, even with v4.0, so nothing has changed on that end for me. But it just seems cleaner-sounding. Maybe it's just me. Last weekend, I went out detecting with a buddy of mine and absolutely smoked his ass. Only dug one or two targets that didn't turn out to be coins. Somehow i just knew. The tone was right there. Found my oldest coin to date. A 1738 KGII halfpenny.
