There is some historical significance here!!! I was wondering how long it was going to be before IAN gave up all the knobs. allthough i think watching me blow through the area near him and leaving nothing behind might have helped a bit.
we have been doing a LOT of comparing the f75 to my xlt simply because thats what we have to compare, quite a bit we are checking each others vdi's and comparing real time on site, i would say for the last week every time one of has a good or iffy signal its "come on over and here and check this one" so far the machine have both come up with almost identical signals and vdi readings, i run the xlt wide open and know this machine like the back of my hand so i get good results with it, HOWEVER
i will honestly say that on some of the targets the 75 had a cleaner lock on the target with the deeper items around 9" or more, i still felt i knew the reading i had was right but listening to the tone on the 75 it was a bit clearer and obviously has a bit more depth.
as for the EFI the whites machine has the same issues especially near power lines, its really not that big a deal, if you want to find the deeper stuff you have to crank it to the verge of instability, they simply put their f75 presets on the verge, you can back it off a bit and make it go away, of course you lose a bit of depth but you still have better chances of finding the items near an efi source than with the conventional type machine. as for brand loyalty, with me it doesnt come into play, i used ians dfx for a few hours and hated that machine in my mind its a piece of %^&*.
I think i'll be be buying one of these f75's soon as i only have one detector.and i wouldn't know what to do without a second machine, i would be having withdrawals if my xlt gave up on me.
as far as the build on the f75, that doesnt even matter, this stuff can modified, tweaked and reworked to fit our needs.
I think once he gets a few more hours on the f75 he might actually be able to find something I left behind and the machine has also given me a good enough demonstration
for me to buy one.
anyone selling?
