Why Can't I Get A Ferrite Ring For My GPZ 7000?


Recommended Posts


well, I have been told that mine is in the mail, however, many a contractor told me that the check was in the mail...I am still waiting for some of those checks...

 

Ps this is not intended to offend my dealer....just a little drywaller humor

Is the Minelab Ferrite Ring any different from the myriad of Ferrite Rings/Toroid Coils on ebay for $2 - $5?

From the Minelab Knowledge Base Article at http://www.minelab.com/__files/f/274444/KBA_26-1%20GPZ%207000%20Tips%20for%20Better%20Ground%20Balance.pdf

"A ‘dust iron’ toroid suitable for the HF frequency band (e.g.1–30MHz with an initial permeability of between 6 and 10) has been carefully selected. It is recommended to use this specific Minelab accessory, only. Alternate ferrites may significantly degrade ground balance quality."

Well I am happy to say that Minelab is now mailing me a ferrite today. Maybe they read this thread or realized I was getting a bit impatient and frustrated in my last email to them, either way this time it got elevated to a manager and took about 5 minutes to get one after that, no more canned responses and everyone was very helpful this time.

Yes Chris

 You might need two, but they both need to be ZEDS. Finding an area without a target is tough.
