Multiple Frequencies question

[dewcon4414]

Question for all the Geru's out there. Ive noticed the Fisher CZ3D operates at 5 and 15 kHz and the Whites DFX at 3 and 15 kHz. Both companies say their detectors transmit multiple frequencies but receive only those stated. What is Minelab doing different with its BBS? Does the Sov GT transmit 28 frequencies and RECEIVE all 28? Some where i read the GT receives at approximately 14 kHz NOT all 28 frequencies. Im about to buy one of these machines but i dont want to be mislead.

You were already misled.
BBS uses 17 frequencies, not 28. FBS uses 28.

The detector transmits a maximum of 28 harmonic frequencies but only uses 1 frequency as selected by the microproccessor for the ground at a given sampling point in time. From what i have heard it offers nothing more than the ability to select the best frequency from its "28 freq menu" , the real advantage with the explorer though is the filters these are the magic behind its great performance.

Art...oops you're right i ment 17. RingProfessional, ive been looking at the DFX, it has an extremely complex system to include the ability to adjust 6 filters i think. I talked to a person who has been detecting for 35. He said the problem with the DFX was that only 30 percent of the people using it had the nack to make programs that really worked. He said it had the ability to really perform IF you knew what you were doing.

The GT is easy once you get used to it. An ajustment or two when necessary. That's all.

No special programs that only work in one place or for one purpose. Nothing difficult.

Go to the DFX users Forum and you will, or can learn everything you will need to know. Lots of users programs at the top of the page with DaveZ's one of the best. The DFX, like the MineLab's is not for beginners, a very long learning curve for both. In other words.......lots to learn to get the best from either. The MineLab's is great for finding deep coins if that is all you want to do. The DFX is much better for beach hunting, competition hunts, finding Gold and a LOT less tiring to use all day. Coil selection is unsurpassed for the DFX as well.

I agree on what you say sbout the dfx it is VERY HARD to get it to perform really well without the neccessary knowledge. I think it will perform reasonably well with out of the box settings but i for one admit to having trouble getting the best out of it. On non mineralised sites i have no trouble getting the depth and sensitivity to small coins but on minerelised soils i can never get to like the dfx.
