I for one am looking forward to the tons of dredging stuff you will post, Steve!

You are SPOT on Steve.

Looks like the Equinox is an 8-layer circuit board. You can see the 8 little white outlined boxes in the upper middle edge of the board. There is a #1 in the first box, for layer 1. Only reason I know is I do PCB Design and development for a living, and that's the way I indicate my layer stacks as well. 🙂

Sold my ATX early this year. Had coil replaced once under warranty for the curley coil cable jacket cracking. Garrett told the dealer that would be the LAST and ONLY time they would replace for this particular defect. So got the brand new replacement coil at the doorstep and thought before I installed it, I would check the coil cable - can you guess?...Yep, brand new coil right from the factory had the cracks in the jacket! And before you say it wouldn't affect performance - try running it in SALT water like I did with the original coil...false signals and would not balance in the end, even after washing with fresh water and letting dry for months. The cable was compromised by water ingression.
Needless to say, someone else owns my ATX now. As Steve said, the design of the whole thing made me shake my head. Thanks for speaking the TRUTH, Steve. You are admirable that way. 🙂

Every point you hit on Steve, is SPOT ON! Could not AGREE with you more.
That's why I sold my ATX...
Many more (if there are any owners left) will do so as well

Which exact model of Avantree unit is this Voyager32? Was gonna order the same off Amazon or AliExpress but want the same ones you have so I know they will work.
Thanks ~~Beav

I could not agree with you more, phrunt!
I just love Steve's honesty.

I would say this is a small inconvenience versus the performance you are gaining by using the coil. That's the way i would personally look at it.

That pretty well sums it up, Steve. You're spot on!

Hi Steve.
I just want to say I personally appreciate ALL the work you are putting in to do this. I have enjoyed the "old" Steve's Mining Journal a lot over the years. Now you are making it even better with hi-res pics and new format.
So, I just want to say THANK YOU.

Very sorry for your loss John. Deepest sympathies.

Am I reading this right...? $2200 bucks for mods to a 4500?

Thanks so much for chiming-in here Carl. That is the most up-to-the-minute info I think I have ever seen from a manufacturer!
I'm waiting with cash in hand...

I can't say anything else or add any more to what has been said except to say a HUGE THANKS to you Steve for all you have done and will continue to do for us all here on your forum!

Great job!

Looks like they are back up!!!

I sure would appreciate a review by yourself on its performance.

Well, it looks like Garrett finally has the New ATX coils added to their web site!

Good info LipCa! Thanks for that post.

I wonder what toxicity effects they have on us? i.e. do they kill you quicker than deet?

Mine deteriorated in fresh water (never saw ocean). I think it was the fiberglass resin somehow chemically attacking the PVC outer jacket on the coiled cable. But that is just my opinion.
