Like many here, I followed the directions and upgraded to 1.14. I did a factory reset. Set it up and gave it a test run. I am a novice with about 75+ hrs on this unit running 1.11.
I found little difference in performance between the .14 & .11. I did a factory reset and downloaded back to 1.11 followed by another factory reset.
I then set my unit back up the way I had it and went to play on a new property. I had not so good results and went home flustered. I couldn't pick up a surface test dime. I knew the field was an old mechanics property with PLENTY of iron and with a radio tower in the back yard, yes a very difficult set up.
Anyway, today I was testing the unit at home, the IF & ST settings, and it had me scratching my head. Something wansn't right. I buried a dime at 4 inches and couldn't hit it at all, even after another factory reset. I realized something was wrong.
Factory reset again, downgraded to 1.09 factory reset and then back to 1.14. completely different results this time. From factory reset on 1.14, I was now easily hitting a dime at 6". I tried several settings and even DT. I had much better results this time around compared to my first time with 1.14. I was able to hit nickels, dimes and quarters with no problems now at 6+ inches. It was dark so I wasn't able to do much more.
Anywho, be careful with the upgrade. Test known parameters first before update, after update and before you start fiddling around with the new programe, it had me running in circles.
If you downgrade to 1.11, you may have the same issues I did but don't panic. Do another factory reset, downgrade to 1.09, factory reset and then updated again to 1.14. I just bypassed 1.11.
Your results may vary. Just letting y'all know what happened to me.
