Nox 600 Multi-IQ

[KyJoe]

The Nox 600 uses 5, 10, and 15 kHz. The 800 also uses 20 and 40 kHz. My question is about the 600 in Multi, does it use 5, 10 15, 20 and 40 kHz same as the 800 or is it just using 5,10 and 15 kHz only?

Just using 5, 10, 15. That is why the 800 cost more, extra freq.

The 600 Multi-IQ is the same as the 800.

Yeah I've read it's the same on multi several different places.

The Equinox 600 lacks having the 20khz and 40khz for use as a single frequency. In multi-IQ the 600 uses the 20khz and the 40khz, along with the 5khz, 10khz and 15khz, just like the 800. It also lacks the gold prospecting mode.

Thanks for the response. Thinking of trying the 600 because of availability. I mainly hunt relics and old coins, almost no modern trash at my sites. Actually I read Ky has the least amount of naturally occurring gold than any other state. Not much prospecting lol.

You pay $250 more for the gold modes, headphones and some finer adjustments for things like backlight, tones and swing speed. Otherwise, the hardware is essentially the same. I have the 600 and it's a good machine. The only thing I have missed so far is the adjustable backlighting. The 600's backlight is a bit bright for night, so I have a red filter for it.

Some have said that the 800's top swing speed (which the 600 lacks) may be needed to unmask some objects (top speeds lose some depth, though, so a trade-off). I doubt it makes any practical difference.
