  1. Has the AQ Limited now become a retail detector? On their website it appears so? Seems a bit confusing. Here's a link to it on thier fancy new website. I thought they were just clearing beta stock, now they're acting as if its a release model, at least it looks that way. I was under the impression they offloaded them all to Kellyco. https://fisher-impulse.com/impulse-aq-limited/ "Available in a production run limited to only 99 detectors" From 2020……
  2. As I’ve said on some other thread, it seems one of the AQ three coil connector pins is unconnected (it’s very loose). I know which is P and which is N. I can’t get my connector’s housing off to see without the likelihood of breaking the base connector. It just won’t undo. I discovered that my Beach Hog has shield connections that I probably missed on my gpx to AQ adapter.
  3. Finally decided on cable connector, got it quick from Mouser, and made an AQ to GPX adapter, and hope to try it in a couple days! The shaft pins are 90 degrees off so it might move around and get annoying. I’d prefer it were longer too - the stock shafts are about 9” longer. Any suggestions as to where to get the one I need?
  4. A warm rainy day nothing frozen so I took the AQ to a fresh water beach I have been to countless times. After about an hour I heard what I was listening for a quick quiet targetI took one scoop and checked the hole it was still there, now I become more interested as a lot of the time the weak sounds are small lead fishing weights which are down about 4 inches. a few more scoops and it was out.
  5. When and why would you use the 8" coil on the AQ at the beach? Is it strictly an in the water coil or does it have uses on the wet sand?
  6. I have only been able to use the AQ on the beach for about an hour. With the original headphones I struggled to hear the differences that the Masters of the AQ talk about. I could hear the double beep on the rusty steel, but the ramp up and ramp down and the soft edges vs the defined edges, I just could not hear it. Then when I went home I tested targets for hours. Pennies, nickels, quarters, screws, bolts, tent stakes, copper rings, silver rings, platinum rings, gold class rings, tiny engagement rings.........etc, but I could not hear much difference. I assumed that I was going deaf and scheduled an appointment with the Audiologist for January. Today for the first time, I put a set of custom homemade headphones onto the AQ and let me tell you what a difference it makes. The ramp up ramp down was all there. The sound chop off when the coil was leaving a ring was so distinct you could tell with your eyes closed if the object was a ring or a nickel. It was my wax on wax off moment. Really excited to take it next week to the beach and see if the backyard transfers onto the beach. I want to sincerely thank the forum members who have been so generous with their knowledge, experience and recommendations. Merry Christmas to all and a safe and Healthy 2024.
  7. I agree!! I seen the issue from the start with the AQ, even on the excalibur. In fact all waterproof headsets are weak in the audio department. To be 100% they must make them reliable, which can be very restrictive on the piezo bender. So make your own, all they have to be is water resistant, taking a dunk once and awhile is no problem. And they are easy fix if something goes wrong, since you made them. I have shared this before with others.. and had the same results as Alexandre
  8. At the right there is the option for captions then at extreme left, autotranslate then scroll down for English. Not all clear / accurate but decipherable for anyone who wants to do a deep dive on this detector. So its "Cog,"( settings) Subtiles, then Autotranslate, then scroll to English. Yhis is part one of two. --the seond one comes up at the end. Brilliant man gotta love him... cjc
  9. Sorry for the false alarm earlier in the week, but suddenly I discover that Kellyco has an unlimited number of Impulse AQ Limited detectors for sale. Apparently they ship out from Fisher in Texas. Get them while they're hot!
  10. I set a bunch of different targets out in a small area in my backyard to test with my AQ. Things don’t seem right. I don’t notice any difference if I vary sample delay. The ATS seems to determine the low/hi tone transition in Tone or Mute modes. Perhaps you have a simple test for ATS, sample delay, and Reject control behaviors?
  11. Couple hour hunt yesterday brought a little surprise. I rarely get chains, let alone this small. Was about knee deep in the wash and the AQ hit on this one. Did not come up on the first scoop but did on the second scoop. ATS at 8 and delay at 10.5 to quiet things in the water movement and the chain hit very well. No good way to know how deep it was but when I got home and did an air test the chain is heard well on the AQ at 4 inches; all metal. In the picture it is next to a dime I dug today. Not sure if I hit on the clasp or the little balls on the chain. I tested it with the Excal and need to be about an inch or closer to the coil to hear the faintest indication in all metal and scraping the coil to get it in disc mode with disc set on minimum ... it nulls at 1/2 an inch and nothing at an inch in disc on the Excal. Markings in two places say 925.
  12. Kellyco has a small number of Fisher AQ Limited available for the price of $1999. No additonal batteries available at this time and yes that is a $500 price increase from the original price for the AQ Limited. My question is does this mean that this is it for the AQ or will the Fisher AQ Unlimited finally be offered for sale? Interesting, very interesting.
  13. Looks like Fisher was able to do some great iron discrimination with the Impulse AQ pulse induction detector on larger gold targets. Does anyone know if this ZTS technology is moving forward or if there was a problem with it's actual performance on in ground targets. I do like the presentation with the rings and nails together.
  14. Was out detecting today and came across two others detecting. One with a Manticore and one with a Deus 2. The guy with the Manticore could walk right up and we could talk and not hear the other's detector. When the guy with the Deus 2 got about 30 feet away I started hearing his detector in the headphones and by the time he was 7 or 8 feet away I had to turn the AQ off until we were done talking and we got some distance between us. The guy with the Deus 2 said he was not hearing the AQ as he approached. Not a big deal ... just a data point.
  15. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why the threshold pots on this machine keep going and what might be done to effect a permanent repair. cjc
  16. hello, is it possible to adapt a detection disk for a minelab gpx on fisher's impulse aq, thank you
  17. Turned it on and All Metal mode was dead, Tone mode works, 12.5” coil. Tried8” coil and it works on both. Will show video later. Looked at connector pins and see some loose ones. Is this ok?
  18. EMI rejection seems to have an issue when moving from All Metal to Tone mode. [Major Edit] I removed two videos that were testing in my garage with too much EMI. Better depth discussions later.
  19. Has anyone had their control pod come lose on this detector? Pressed my thumb aganst the panel and noitced that it was moving and not secured. Doesen't seem to be any obvious fix although there's a screw visible at the side of the handle when you roll the foam down. Still works but only an impact away from disaster... cjc
  20. Today I noticed on an air test I don’t here a faint target on the perimeter of the coil. I here a faint target in the center of the coil where it attaches to the lower rod. when it’s a surface target(loud target) I here it on the outside perimeter of the coil. is this normal. how do you guys have your coil cable coming off the coil to the lower rod. is it tight (straight) or do you have slack. I am trying to understand and learn this machine. But I still have not gotten a good deep target over a foot. Today I used the whites tdi pulse scan and got a deep target. Had to remove 2-3 inches of sand before the AQ herd it it was a clad nickel. Depth unknown guess 12-14 in
  21. Curious if anyone knows the out of warranty repair cost for the AQ. As they probably just toss it (hermetically sealed) there likely is just one cost… I’m wondering how they test the delay settings function as I haven’t been able to see much difference and another user I talked with expressed the same opinion.
  22. Do you guys experience a big difference in target response for delay settings? I’m trying to see if mine has an issue as on small air targets I just don’t see much difference with delay variation. It might have a loose wire to it. I tried an earring back and a 5 grain gold nugget. When using it for EMI optimization I do notice changes as I rotate it but I can’t say if the resulting behavior is optimized or not in normal modes.
  23. I am noticing that sometimes the AQ makes a dominant tone on each swing at the wet of the beach. I’m not able to reduce it- unless it reduces depending on the EMI setting chosen (I didn’t spend a long time testing this)... I had a long hunt today - 3 beaches 10am to 3pm. I was running on OBN’s short battery. Later in the day I was able to greatly reduce the tone. I’m wondering if it is a particular output voltage of the battery that made it work. The Fischer team says no the operating voltage is regulated. I’m wondering if it is really true.
