Looks pretty good:

Lots of features on that thing. They will sell a bunch of them, I bet. If it has the juice of a Eurotek Pro but is deeper due to the ground balancing, I may buy one myself. Will frat bros coils work on it?

I'm not seeing anything listed ????????????????????????? Or does it just have a iron tone for lower targets..

Is the disc built in on the 5 modes of operation ???

Here's a text breakdown from the advert:

I'm assuming it'll sell at $299 from the dealers that do discount after the preorder is over.

The modes (J, C, A) are probably preset notches like the Land Ranger Pro. Custom mode is the mode programmable. AM is where manual GBing is done that carries into the custom mode. Ground Grab may or may not be available in the presets, as they are NOT in the LRP and only in the custom modes. The depth rating is the same as the LRP, 10". But boost probably extends that, if it is offered.

I don't see enough differences between the F44 and the LRP to give up mine. The LRP is a glorified ETP without the relics FeTone and a better (to me) V-Break system. I also prefer the 43 segment conductivity arc over the 2-9 segments of the F44.

It looks like manual GB on the F44 is conducted with an up and down arrow display over a line representing the ground.

The F44 is designed as an International detector. No segment descriptors. The box is written in 5 different languages. Like the Eurotek Pro, everything is based on numbers and sound only.

Bars are constant ground phase off readout like on the omega. Every category in custom starts as vco tone but can be user selected low/mid/high as well. Settingsun are saved on power off.
