    The new V3i is here

    I went to pick up My new V today. Ended up finding a local dealer willing to deal.
    I got it registered and have been looking through it pretty good. Very interesting machine, I hope it doesn't frustrate me too bad. Already had to restore programs back to factory default, I guess the only way to learn is to just do it.
    I can tell some of the volume settings will have to be adjusted or i'll spend my finds in Excedrine Migraine. If it holds up as well as the MXT it should provide some years of learning. Can't wait to see how it does in the field and learn all i can about it.

    I love mine, loads to learn.
    Sneak over to White's own forum and download the advanced user guide, well worth a read. More chapters to be added, but more info than the user guide that came with.
    Just wished the rain would stop so I can get out and use mine.

    Congratulations on your new V3i thumbsup01 I really like mine, I used the stock programs to begin with for a while just to get use to what it was telling me, then I was recommended a program for my area by Goatrancher and it does super good in my area.

    Took the V out for a test run today. Snow is starting to melt and had a little muddy ground to work. Seems like the VDI is bouncing all over the place. Changed programs to see how they ran. Some run smoother so i will have to lokk at the settings to see what the difference is between them and the chattery ones. I dug a few holes that pinpointed 4 1/2, dug down about 8 and nothing. Anylize mode didn't indicate a coin so maybe it was bigger deeper trash.
    I will deffinatly have to put in some time to get comfortable with it but that's what it's all about.
    I did figure out how to save a program and i set allafternoon and half the night last night just going through everything to find out where it was. Still don't know what it all means or what it's all for but when the time comes i want to know where it's at.
