Fisher Impulse AQ Unboxing & First Photos

[vive equinox]

Hello Rick

Does the AQ come with 2 battery pack ?

I read that it was supposed to, but I got only one.

The battery pack slides on to the rod in a dovetail groove and is held in place by two screws with thumb heads - easy to change and pretty easy for aftermarket folks to develop other configurations if they want to

Tone & Mute mode = normal discrimination
configurable by the Reject button

Volcanic Sand = stronger discrimination
here too, configurable by the Reject button

in Tone you hear the ferrous lead ...
in Mute they cut her = silence or creaking
depending on the Reject setting

in tone mode, how many tones ? a high and a low ?

and in mute mode, only one tone ?

Editors Note: A response to this was moved to a new thread.

Are they lithium ion?

No, they are NiMH

Well, all the comments positive and otherwise are fine, but this thing has to WORK for me - thinking of sending my AQ back. I live on a golf course and it didn’t pick up any of these.

Happy New Year

HI Rick!

Is there going to be an unboxing video we still waiting for?Thanks!!!

Video video video 😎

There wasn’t much to the unboxing - pull out the inner sleeve from the plain brown cardboard box and unroll it - viola. I have posted pictures of the result.

A video would add nothing and with the primitive state of my understanding of editing video would take me hours which I can’t spare right now.

Sorry.

In general, I don’t plan to make any videos until I am thoroughly comfortable with the AQ and can adequately demonstrate its capabilities and limitations.

More detailed photo closeups of things like the battery, battery connections, coil connector, etc. would then be a welcome alternative. People love good photos. Thanks Rick.
