Hey guys,
just wondering why there isn't more reverse engineering with detectors?
I'm not encouraging it, but curious, as the inside is pretty standard components and then software added to make up the package.
Considering the hefty price I'm surprised there are not "xuia min chow" or "chu chu meo meo" detectors that are identical to the 7000, 4500.

Or are they actually hard to copy?
 
Well China and others pump out a LOT of detector clones. They seem to get the LOOK, stickers etc pretty close but the operational aspect seem to be a LONG way from the original. You would think it worth their time to reverse engineer and sell a comparative product at a lower price.
