Patriot meter lables

Hello Stan pa. l think I spoke to you about how my son and my self worked out a new lable to suite our coins and rubbish in Australia. After contacting Joe we decided to work on a 64 division scale. This worked out good. It
 
Stan congradulations on such a good translation ofthe patriot meter!!
excellent presentation and translation. I wish one of the guy's here would do the same for ground conditions here in the U.S. I was told that Tesoro's shipped to Australia are adjusted for the ground there.
So I would imagine a label for the Patriot can be devised for targets here in the U.S.A. . Not only for the patriot but any other analog meter.
Good job !

What Stan (Australia) failed to mention is that his Patriot Target A.I.M. PRO meter required factory calibration to Australian coinage for his label to 'match up' properly. This was done on a custom basis and is not something we plan to do as a production model. However, we try to help and accomodate our customers as much as possible when we can ... such as in Stan's case.

As good as Stan's Australian coinage label and our Australian coinage calibration is, it is not nearly as accurate as our meter is when used for U.S. coinage, as that is what it and the meter's internal software was designed and optimized for. To make our meter as precise for other, non U.S. coinage, would require us to modify our software and to design new meter labels specifically matched to that particular country's coinage - neither of which we currently plan to do.

Stan has informed me on several occasions that he is quite satisfied with what we have accomplished in trying to make our meter work the best it can in identifying Australian coins.

Rusty,

Obviously, you are not aware that the Patriot Target A.I.M. PRO ID meter is an American made product designed exclusively to identify U.S. coins.

What Stan has done was take our U.S. meter and modify the meter label (in addition to our custom calibration changes) to help him identify Australian coins.

hi stan,
yes you did speak to me about the changes you needed to make on your patriot meter and i must say that is mighty ingenious of you and your son to have done that. i copied your post so as to compare with the jewelry ranges.
yesterday was the first real chance to get my patriot outside onto my test garden and run the meter through its modes like the simple recalibration, which was a piece of cake. block and linear mode was nice. both modes did lock on coins nicely. iron sentry worked really well everytime on a couple of pieces of scrape steel i have buried also. for some reason i was getting a slight flicker on the light like a pulse but otherthen that im looking forward to getting the meter out to a park and playing with it.
stan thanks for posting your label and your other findings.
