Interesting post Vlad. I wasn't aware of the power requirements as you stated. I own a T2 and look forward to the new Fisher as it will hopefully combine technology. Might be a better coin machine than the T2 due to a "probably" lower frequency.
Now, what happens if they put out a multi freq detector with high energy batteries for higher sensitivity capabilities? Wouldn't it go awefully deep then? I hear the explorer is bad on batteries, what if they modified it for more power and sustained it by using high energy rechargeables?
Looking forward to this "marriage" of companies. I haven't owned a Fisher but for some reason I've been wanting to try one. Seems like a good old classic, very high performing machine. My only other detector is a Nautilus IIB, but when I was deciding it was between it and a Fisher Excel... oh how close. Guess I was a glutton for pain in a sense. I would have had allot more fun with the Fisher as the Nauty was tough at first.
Lastly, I hope we can all get along pretty well. I feel like I'm posting on "your" board but really it's "our" board since we are the same company (essentially).

The transmitted power of any hobby type detector is regulated by the FCC. Suposed to be no more than 100mw(1/10th of one watt for Any unlicesed transmitting device)The biggest boo boo the FCC ever made and they were sorry for it later was CB radios

Vlad,I think the T2 has strong points,and its a lot more than a middle lineup detector.It has great depth and coverage,but suffers because there are no smaller coils available to help separate targets in a thrash laden park.I just like the CZ and 1200 series better.These detectors are simple and they work.The 1236 is a single lower frequency detector that has great depth with the threshold audio on.I have owned and used both,but prefer the Fisher.Out in the field where I hunt with both of these Fishers they out class the Teknetics.

I have tried to find a definite FCC reference on this but can't. I know Fisher has printed something about a 100mw limit but some say this is bunk as metal detectors are unintentional radiators and have no power limit per the FCC.
Anybody have a link to the actual FCC regulations (if any) that would apply to detectors?
