Well?
Timeline was good. But the rest of the transaction seemed a little cold. 

Never ever should you have out of pocket money on a warranty issue. Just my thoughts. Good luck to you with your newRC.

Your comment adds zero value, if you’re looking for a place to argue, it’s called Facebook, not Detector Prospector because frankly, I couldn't care less what you stand beside, have a nice day.

I’m sorry if I upset you. Never been here to argue. I simply stand by, Clive is a good guy and he gave you his explanation. He would never intentionally ignore anyone. Again I’m sorry.

Glad you have a new RC. Not so happy to see how it was handled!!!

Yes that would make sense if you disregard the fact that he had to read my post to scroll down to read yours. But before you reply “Oh he probably just got a notification that I replied and clicked the link which took him directly to my reply”…. He’d have gotten the same notification about mine as well, many hours earlier….  

No big deal just an observation, seems to happen more and more these days ……. Have a nice day. 

I stand by my post.

HOLY HELL..... what am I, chopped liver?

Talk about pulling over to help a guy dig his truck out from being stuck in the mud to only then have him completely ignore you, then walk past you to chat with the guy that stopped to ask what kind of wheel that was....  not even an acknowledgment for the research, time and offer to solder it for you... dang........  People don't help for the thanks but when they provide you great info and then you flat out ignore them and their offer to solder it for you and you walk to the guy behind them to chat... whew damn!!!.... It's times like these I'm reminded why it's a struggle to bother deciding to spend the effort to help people at times.... Not even a freaking "Like/Thumbs Up" that takes .5 seconds... daaaaaammmmmmmn lesson learned, that won't happen again.

I thought you Canucks had better manners than that... 🤪

I’m sure Clive just missed your post. He is a super guy, and him and I go way back so don’t get all upset. I promise he just did not see. Chill.

Anyone know where I can get one of these? I'm finally too old to solder 😆

Hi Clive. Could that be a 8 pin CTX waterproof phone jack?

I’m fairly sure you can receive a replacement. I was told the statement about green corrosion due to water egress was left in the manual for the WS6 module which is not waterproof. Call your dealer.

As Joe mentioned, I myself am very happy with both my AQ’s and like Joe, I don’t see myself parting with either one. I regularly submerge mine in running surf salt water. There are tricks to be learned. As far as how deep it goes, well in waist to chest deep water I would be scared to say. Some holes I dig waist deep, I warn moms to keep an eye on their little ones. I try to stay away from those areas. Am I missing the target and just digging needlessly? I can say in wet sand a 6 gram 14k band at 16” is quite clear. I will tell some of you, don’t run 7uS and try to work in salt water. You will not be happy. Don’t be scared and run 10 or 11. I promise you will still hit those targets you are looking for. As far as buying one of the remaining limited additions, follow your heart. What I find interesting is, if 75% are unhappy, where are all those machines for sale? And if you wait on the unlimited and it does not come to pass, you may just be kicking yourself in the arse. Good luck everybody.

Finally!!  PayPal contacted Detecting DooDads yesterday, and today I got a tracking number from them.  So I should be getting it soon.  I don’t think I will be ordering anything else from them.

No more DooDads for me. My charging clip came apart first charge not to mention the time frame of waiting. Buyer beware.

I tried out my new GGA IIs (for Deus 2) the other day and love them. They use the bone phone output instead of the wired headphone output and have tons of volume. I started with the volume at 6 but found that uncomfortably loud, so dropped it to 5 which is still plenty loud. I also like the sound quality, which I would describe as somewhat like the bone phones sound, but better and without that brain rattling big iron response. Comfort wise; the cup pads of these GGA IIs seem to be softer than any of my original GGAs. Nice molded, 90 degree m8 connector and glad to see they got rid of that cup mounted volume pot. Great job Detector Pro!

(BTW that’s not a splice in the cable in the picture; I just have the cable taped to a large zip tie to keep it away from the handle)

Is the cable coiled or straight?

Thanks Chase. No cover but the temps have been in the mid to upper 90’s with the sun beatin down lol. I will pass this on to him.

My friend just checked his clock. Off by 13+ hours, dang !!!

Well damn. After all this time talk I just checked mine. 18 mins. slow from when I first set it back in February. I’ve done two updates, wonder if that down time effects the clock ? I will reset and watch closely.

I was going to say that it might be temperature related (did he have a protective cover on it?) but if that was the case, it wouldn’t explain how he was able to immediately turn it back on and continue the run.  Weird.

The folks that are having wonky issues with the clock keeping proper time is weird too.  

As well as those like Dave whose batteries are dying, although it is not a totally uncommon thing for a small percentage of Li-Ion batteries to have “infant mortality” type failures near the beginning of life.  If it is indeed a battery failure and not a circuit problem in the remote causing the battery to excessively drain (which would also ultimately cause premature battery failure).

Yes, I am a big proponent of reinstalling software if there are operating issues within the programs.

However in this case, with battery drain, this is a hardware issue.  

The unit came to me with 0.71 installed and worked great through testing for a month. The battery drain has happened in the last two weeks. 

It will be going back. 

My friend has had some issues that I wonder if any others have had. We are salt water hunters but he is a damp sand and wash only. Twice now at 5 hrs into his spin, his remote just powered down for no reason. Both times he turned it back on and returned hunting another hour and half with no issues. Has anyone else experienced any similar events?

The TekPoint & F-Pulse are identical except for color.

Thanks. A great pointer !!!

The "New & Improved" is a matter of opinion. I made some minor tweaks to the circuitry to improve consistency but was also asked to remove some features and change the interface to make it simpler to use. Personally, I don't think it's any simpler and I particularly liked the Turbo modes that are no more. Also can't do audio-only any more. Otherwise, it performs the same as before.

How similar or dis similar is my Tek Point from the F Pulse ?

Yep, the missing components were for a bipolar version. Alexandre was convinced that this was the best approach but I convinced him to consider an H-bridge drive which is what he is now playing with. There is a way to use a twin-coil drive to cancel salt but I don't think that was his intent. Rather, it naturally cancels EFE and allows you to run a higher pulse rate.

I think Eric Foster discussed this at length on geotech aways  back but I may be wrong. Another thing that puzzled me with the AQ limited coil cable was why the red Vandamme had (2) mini coax’s. Turns out this cable could be used for the bipolar version.

To Fisher engineers……please put the brain in a good body 👍

Relatively the same body with exceptions of an extra Souriau connector in back for headphones.

He didn't join up with them to make it?

They have been working on theirs for two years now. And testing on the new AQ is going on now here in the US.

Nokta would have smashed home a great version of it in short order.

Then why have they not done so ?

It is a killer on the stud earrings to. As you show, it finds chains that the Excal would never see. My bane is how it lights up aluminum pop rivets that have separated from beach gear.

My D2 which is a deep machine will not however hit the top chain. Beach sens. Sens. 95, salt 9, silencer 1, reactivity 0, .5 or 1. 2 tone square. Disc. 6.0. I have not experienced those rivets but do have quite a few ear ring backs with the AQ. I am though, primarily a water hunter or wet sand and wash. Fresh drop season the AQ is my go to machine.

I’m just not sure what you guys are complaining about. The AQ is a beach machine. Maybe I was just one of the lucky ones or I just took the time to learn the machine. I live in a pirate rich environment and normally don’t show my finds. Granted it is entering peak season here, but this is my finds so far this week with the AQ. I did dig a half dozen new bottle caps and two tent stakes that fooled me. I leave that stuff in the beach garbage cans. I hope my friend in Md. will not share this with my number one competitor. I would not change a thing since I have two of Joes batteries.

I've got to set the clock every time I switch my deus 2 on, and even then when I'm out it will display the wrong time, this has happened since I updated to 0.71 before that it was fine.

Try the update again.

Look closely at these machines.

I agree..... 40 x 1500.oo = 60 grand. I would hope they would discount them in order to move on, or is it ......... the end of the road.

I think $1500.00 is a discounted price if I remember correctly. I myself have 2 machines that work as they should with no issues. Will they hold up ? We shall see.
