Alexandre’s details apply to the “Unlimited” production version I believe. The AQ Limited now being sold by Fisher is shown in Arturo’s email as “IMPULSE-AQ-NIMH” - I take that to mean that it is the AQ Limited.

IMPULSE-AQ-NIMH, yes it's the limited version.

And I speak about the difference between the limited and unlimited (worlwide version)

Alexandre. It sounds like the new world version has some great improvements over the limited. Thanks for the update!

I forgot, adding clips to hold the searchcoil cable along the shaft. (new clips special Fisher)

Thanks for the information, you know when the global version will be?

After the end of the limited version.

Sounds harsh. But I doubt a production version of this will ever be released.

I suspect it will be released - too much invested to back away at this point - hopefully they have solved the production issues. If they have, they can sell them for 10 - 15 years at a nice quiet rate to serious salt beach hunters. Meanwhile everything learned throughout the VERY painful launch of the AQ Limited will be applied (I hope) to making the Impulse “Platform” a steady moneymaker for decades.

We will see.

I don't understand why you think it will never be published, even if the Earth stopped it would still be published, I haven't worked for the last fifteen years for nothing ...
Many models will be created from this platform, with increasingly "high-end" and perform technologies.

It appears to be setting up nicely for a digital version..... that IMO will be when the magic happens.  I for one appreciate Alexandres efforts on this machine.   This needed to be done because a PI will get us where we want to be faster than a VLF thats watered down for Multi use.   It maybe a niche machine..... but once they go digital that all could change and could very well get a little competition going..... thats where we win.
