phrunt Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 What we have here, is an Equinox 1000 Certainly not a graphics screen like the CTX. Target ID's like the Equinox not the CTX. It's not looking anything to do with a CTX to me, just a new Equinox to put some wood in the fire now the Legend and Deus 2 have taken all the glory that the Equinox once had. In saying that, I want one, and I hope they've fixed all the weak points of the Equinox build quality with it. It may have 99 target Id's this time, that first digit looks like a 5 to me. Straight shaft again but with a proper clip much like the Detect Ed aftermarket Equinox shaft to stop twisting. They maybe are capable of learning from mistakes. Looks like it's telescopic too with the clip right at the handle like that. I like what I see. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it looks more like an Equinox than a CTX, but I get the impression it has target ID abilities like FBS II machines, but doesn't carry the slow recovery speed or weight of those machines.

Yea, what we know is it has 99 Target Id's, not sure it has the FE - CO of the CTX, it looks to me like the 20 on this photo is the sensitivity setting. It certainly has more detailed discrimination patterns. Multi-IQ+ and not FBS2 or FBS3 so maybe Multi-IQ is the future and FBS is done for, or they just haven't done a 3030 replacement yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_e Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 A Manticore has the head of a man, body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion. My bet is they chose this name because the detector blends3 technologies. Multi IQ, FBS, and another tech. Maybe BBS. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 It looks like a carbon fiber shaft and it looks like they've addressed the coil ears problem too. I hope Coiltek is working on a 10x5 or 12x6 coil for this now. 😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamid Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Looks it's works pretty well. We don't have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 will be the DOD coil as in the 7000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I think they're just support, it looks to be a 15" coil. M15 model number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
