Hey fellas, I have a request............

[Streak!]

There has been talk from a number of guys about the shortcomings of the manual suppled with the F75. We may have the power to do something about that. I've been corresponding with a few of the powers that be, and think we can encourage fisher to subsidize a much better manual, or "how to" book or DVD, by someone very knowledgeable in the field. We all need to be on the same page with this though. If you have a F75, and would like to maybe have a better publication available for it, send me an email with F75 in the subject line, and your email address and name in the body. I'll send a group mailing out detailing what I have in mind when I get everyones contact info. I think we can make this happen. Thanks in advance...shadowx5@ptd.net Streak!
PS: I just noticed my old addy here is incorrect, so use the one supplied here in the post.

[size=medium]but I think the F-75 book is pretty good compared to Fishers manauals of the past. my Excel-id manual was short/ full of typos and useless. The f-75 is better written, got me going well and good enough to get a beginner hunting<< isnt that the point of a manual? If it was an inch thick like the Explorer then there would be even more complaints. I have only seen a few techy people who want electronic explinations of how everything works and much of that is propirietary so no manual will get too detailed. I read the manual once or twice when i get a new mashine and then i learn my own tricks. I think a how to DVD or book is a fine idea but a rewrite of the manual I disagree. Id bet more f-75 detectorists would much rather see bounty hunter consentrate work on some accessory coils before manual rewrites

I thought it was pretty good too. There's more stuff in it than most my other detector manuals. Heck, I thought they explained stuff pretty good myself.

I'll third it.I thought they did a pyrty good job on it.
And yes extra coils would be nice.Also I wish they would come out with a new bounty hunter machine in the old style box that ran off two nine volts.I really liked that style,except maybe run off 4 Double a's.

IMHO I think the manual leaves much to be desired. I don't need to know about all the electronics but a few more pages on how to make it operate under different conditions sure would help. With claims of it being such a sophisticated detector I am sure that to devote more than one page per setting would not be too much to ask..02
