[QUOTE="AuMan, post: 518652, member: 2670"] Adventurerchris sorry, but I have to disagree totally with your post. The GFX7000 was produced after Minelab were hacked and information such as schematics and firmware were stolen. I have been working on Minelab detectors for over 10 years now and have a few tests that are quickly able to identify if a detector works correctly or not. The GFX7000 does not work correctly at all. An SD2000 would be better! Now, electronically, the gfx7000 is almost an exact copy of the gpx4500, however, on some of the more critical parts such as the low noise ad797(expensive)(substituted for noisy ne5534(cheap)) they have skimped out along with a few other parts. However, the thing that immediately got my attention and makes the detector unusable is SETA does not work, well it is working, but it is not set up/calibrated, therefore when you swing the coil the detector moans, when you go over a magnetic rock it wails, when you wave a ferrite magnet near the detector it wails. They are good for parts and as a troubleshooting lab rat! Cheers Mick [/QUOTE]
