White's New Detector... Vision
Here's what we think we know so far:
3 Frequencies, 2.5kHz, 7.5kHz, and 22.5kHz
Color screen, new display housing
Oscilloscope like display (this tickles my inner geek)
Same shaft and electronics box as the DFX
D2 coil
Has internal Bluetooth audio/data transceiver
White's is selling bluetooth headphones, or you could use your own
You can exchange programs with other detectors over bluetooth
Retail price is going to be around $1500 with the headphones
Will be in stock at a dealer near you within a months time.

White's Vision Field Guide!
http://www.munchless.com/images/vision_field_guide.pdf
Get your reading glasses on... there's a lot to look at! This thing looks awexome!
Ok, after reading the field guide, here are some interesting observations:
1) Support of multiple wireless headphones connected at the same time. Great for training purposes, or group hunting with one detector. Ability to change headphone channel just in case of interference.
2) Transmit Boost is a feature that amplifies the transmit circuit to help penetrate deep in the ground… very interesting. This seems much different than your typical sensitivity adjustment, which would seem to make the receiver end of things more or less sensitive. This Tx Boost is kind of like NOS for your detector… you wouldn’t use it all of the time, but when you needed it… it would be great to have it.
3) New high and low frequencies making the detector even more sensitive to GOLD and SILVER respectively. Deep silver, here we come. Oh boy, I wanna nugget hunt today… and can!
4) Frequency offset - +5/-5 which tunes the detector to the type of target you are seeking, or just to cancel out crosstalk between two Vision machines or nearby EMI. Too bad it wasn’t automatic for the crosstalk portion, but hey… it’s there!
5) Page 3 shows a depth of 13 inches on the display , and the depth meter shows fractions down to ¼”
6) Really cool Active Analyze screen, for the geek in all of us.
7) Deep Silver, Meterorite, Hi Pro preset modes sound like “the business”.
8) LIVE CONTROLS! You can now adjust all kinds of parameters while the detector is operating in a recovery mode. Fine tuning couldn’t be easier now… experimentation will be fun instead of a chore!
9) Included is a SMART CHARGER that will charge your NiMH battery pack in 2-3 hours. Runtime is about 6-12 hours even despite the new display and wireless headphones!
10) Ability to change menu color schemes and menu sounds.
11) Help balloons activated by pushing trigger forward makes learning and REMEMBERING easy!
