First off, I don't work for Minelab, nor do my posts necessarily represent their thoughts. I simply state my opinions, as do many others on here. With that in mind, the "few software tweaks" that you mention had nothing to do with upgrades. They were updates to correct an issue with Seawater stability and an issue with the Li-Ion battery operation. Those that purchased their CTX prior to these issues being resolved were allowed to "update" their detectors (via the internet and XChange2) to include those software "tweaks". It wasn't necessary for those that purchased their CTX after those "tweaks" were made available because the "tweaks"were installed during manufacturing. An upgrade would be required to enhance the operational functionality, not simply address a technical issue. What the brochure says is that those upgrades can be done over the internet, using XChange 2. And based on what I understand about the technical abilities of the CTX and XChange 2, they can be. However, for reasons not communicated to me or others outside of Minelab, as of today, there have been no upgrades made available to the CTX. When they are made available, you will be able to implement them into your CTX over the internet. So........ I don't think you are "wrong thinking". I just think you are (like many others) wondering when upgrades will be made available. And that question can only be answered by Minelab. JMO HH Randy
Yup, Digger we are on the same page. I know you are not affiliated with Minelab other than owning a detector of the brand.
Would be nice if Minelab would "surprise" us soon with something really good. And if said upgrade was really an upgrade that most users fine useful, then
I am sure the CTX would have some bragging rights to support the initial cost. This would help us support sales by word of mouth.
