Hi Treasure Hunters.
I have not posted lately been on vacation, got back from Vegas and I have lots of questions, but without getting to technical can someone explain the differences between Tesoro H.O.T (high output transmit oscillator) circuitry over what was used in some of there old and what they are using currently in other models?
I realize there are quit a bit of differences with respect to what hunting mode/setting you are in what gives the H.O.T circuitry on two of Tesoro models gives an edge over depth in signal for increased sensitivity/gain to smaller items..wondering if it has something to do with the higher KHz on the Cibola and Vaquero is it just the Super Tune or both? What about the Compadre and Mojave at 10 KHz they look the same other then the ground mineralization switching aspect to the circuitry but really the Compadre seems par if we are talking moderate soil anyways and the coil differences. Unless someone can tell me on moderate soil why the Mojave can get deeper objects over the Compadre, I would like to know.
What about the Silver uMax, LST, Outlaw, and the Tiger Shark? What is the name of the circuitry they use as it appears even though they use the same ED120 just want to know ? The Vaquero is really somewhere around ~ED165 from what I hear and the T, C and the M is 180 circuitry. What circuity does the Deleon and the Cortes use.. (not ED) it appears they use both the same uMax housing design but all current models except the Silver are not uMax processors...am I right The Deleon and Cortes carry on phase shift for target identification, like others but more for Target ID and appears you need to 'LIFT' the coil for this to give you a better accurate reading, therefore circuitry construct or processor differs, it must right??
What is Micro Max Design just the housing or does it have to do with internal circuitry design?
What is MAXBoost Sensitivity on the Tejon and possibly other Tesoro detectors.. is it 'by turning the SENSITIVITY knob past 10 into the orange area puts the Sensitivity into the MAXBoost range found only on the MicroMAX detectors?? As on Tesoro web page it does not state the Tejon is a uMax detector, only the Silver, so must have something to do with the circuitry, and I am pretty sure MAXBoost Sensitivity has nothing to do with Super Tune on the Tejon as this feature only appears to behave on the C & V anyways.. maybe just a feature other then a major overhaul on circuitry?? To me MAXBoost is only on machines where it shows on the detector by turning the Sensitivity knob past 10 in the orange it is in MAXBoost range does that make it a MicroMAX ?
Would and did Tesoro consider a model with HOT circuitry of the newer machines, but with lower Tx frequency and have audio modulated higher some how.. at least 600 hz? And yeah without the High Audio upgrade as I am not interested in sending in for a mod to Tesoro and voiding my warranty....maybe they do this and still by not voiding my warranty.
Been looking at the Diabol and found this on Tesoro site.
"At the heart of the MicroMAX Diablo is a totally new circuit board developed from Surface Mount Technology. This MicroMAX circuit board helps provide ultra-smooth operation in the most difficult soil conditions along with greater depth and sensitivity to smaller gold nuggets."
What is Surface Mount Technolgy (SMT) , and since we are speaking of this how many other technologies did Tesoro evolve from and to. If anyone knows please list as this is easier for me to post then going through all of Tesoro manuals to dig in and understand where we came from to where we are today, as I am insterested in know if there are some old technologies/old models that maybe of interest to me still. I know the Outlaw that was released has it 'roots' in Bandido Technology even thought the Bandido is a uMax, but see the Outlaw is Low Audio circuitry...I am starting to understand that circuitry MOSTLY has to do with Audio differences and Battery Test 'mostly' am I incorrect in saying this?
Lot of questions I know but like to hear what you have to say.
