IT means you get 8 custom profiles to modify

Rick you confuse me. Yes 5 goes into 40 8 times..... but what are you saying.... the machine has SET freqs 8 kHz apart? I believe FBS is 1 to 100 KHz with 28 freqs isnt it and BBS is set at 1.5 per channel? Seems we still dont know for sure.... wheres that ML guy lol.

No, his comment was born of confusion from the marketing. The ads list the number of freqs together with the number of user customize-able programs.

This answer makes sense to me.
Range = the area of variation between upper and lower limits on a particular scale.
No Minelab Detector to date transmits more than two primary frequencies. All the publicity about 28 or any other number of frequencies notwithstanding. Any competent electronics engineer can easily demonstrate the accuracy of this statement.
If you count all the harmonics of the two primary frequencies and then add in the fact that the noise cancellation system shifts both the upper and lower frequency SLIGHTLY to seek the quietest operation, then you can pick any number you want to describe how many frequencies it “uses”. If you are confused, join the club - it has been a major effort of ML over the years to make the whole thing as mysterious as possible.
My opinion, of course, but based on solid analysis I have read elsewhere. Forum rules prohibit my furnishing a link, but if you are interested, google “geotec fbs/bbs carl” and read the whole thread.
None of the above is intended to say that the Equinox 600 or 800 will not be popular and extremely capable Detectors. ML’s engineers are tops. Their Marketing department is even smarter.

Makes one wonder what combination of frequencies it uses in the various modes since they have stated as such. CZ series use 5 & 15, FBS/BBS use
