phrunt Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 The public beta testing didn't help with that, yes there was some positive exposure, but a huge amount of negative exposure. Ironing out the problems before selling them is clearly the better path, especially when these beta testers had to pay to do the testing and were in many ways scammed, they're not going to mind showing all the warts online and going into detail about how they feel ripped off. Normally the testing phase is kept internally so we don't hear about all the screw ups. I wouldn't think they shouldn't sell beta versions of the gold and wait until its ready before trying to sell it and release it like a normal detector they'd release and just cross their fingers the damage the AQ has done to public opinion doesn't affect the Gold also. If they want testers provide them with test units like a normal company would. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vive equinox Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I understand that after the negative opinions that there have been on the limited, people do not want to take the risk of buying one. that's why I thought that fisher will seriously correct and release the unlimited version for everyone and in europe! we now understand that there will not be this version and that we will not see any AQ impulse in europe except that of LeJag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pero es el limitado no ? 2400€ es mucho mas caro que el precio de venta, y sin garantia ni nada, mucho riesgo de comprar lo, has tomado contacto con el vendedor Luis ?

The truth surprised me when I saw it. I have not contacted him. At another time I would have jumped into the pool for him. But he's got too many flaws to risk it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toms is cutting his losses. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I just can’t see Fisher launching any other pulse units…….I feel it’s the end of the road for that line of detectors ? Would I like to see myself wrong…….most definitely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself have 2 machines that work as they should with no issues. Will they hold up ? We shall see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjc Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I like the circuit too it's smooth and has great target info. I now have two units but as I had warned and warned again the Vishay pots are a real weakness and I've had one defective Sens and three T/H's go bad. These pots were the bain of some of Eric's machines and needed almost annual changing out. That said though, the AQ does have great optimization (22k notwithstanding) and enough fidelity to make it versatile enough for a wide range of conditons. FT has been good on the service though and Felix has given great customer service to keep me in the game. For fast salt I don't see anything amongst the VLF offerings that even come close. Hate to say it but all high performance pulse machines for the water have flaws. Having owned maybe 8 seeping, pot and coil dropping Dual Fields, 2 GQA2's, a proto CS6pi, 3 Cudas and a homemade W/P TDI Pro--you get used to it. cjc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
