Hopefully I'll know more in the next month or so too. Although mine is yet to be turned on - there's that time thing again After the school holidays maybe?
Already can see some positives though.

Sorry for breaking your rules but i though it was important for your members to get factual information on the QED.
So for the benefit of your members I can say that the Gb method and the Gb firmware and signal acquisition and processing are identical in QED prototype's and the production models. The latest production models have a firmware update and one circuit component has also been replaced with one with better specs.
The QED does not contain any patent protected IP from any other company.It does use patent applied for IP from Dave Emery with his knowledge and consent.
I will always give you honest, relevant and factual info on the QED. I talk to Howard regularly so i have my finger on the QED pulse so to speak. After my forum this one will be the next to find out about the latest QED info and updates when Howard clears them for publication.Heatho said:AEGPF said:AEGPF said:Correcting misinformation and lies on another forum

Thanks for restating your info Doug, as said by Dave, the QED will get a proper run in this thread, all honest, relevant and factual info whether good or not so good will stay. As said also we know exactly the type of stuff that has been happening elsewhere and we are not interested in bringing any of that trash talk here, we have kept a very close eye on this thread and will continue to do so. Anyone can post in this thread and as long as the info is presented in an honest and un-biased no BS type of way then it's all good. The members here probably aren't interested in what's been said elsewhere either.
Cheers

Any news on the battery packs? My one area of constructive criticism thus far (in a very short time of use) is the lack of a proprietary li ion battery pack that can be securely fastened onto the detector in a protective case or similar. I'll nut something out for the li ions I'm currently using but it's given the QED an "awkward" feel. The leads coming out of the faceplate is also an accident waiting to happen IMO but the new control box configuration should fix that up I think?AEGPF said:BW is working on even more firmware for when the new control box becomes available and new battery packs that will hold 6 Li ion batteries and give up to 30 hours detecting.

Mine came with the 15 x modes + SMR adjustment so I'm assuming that the new hardware component for bias drift has been fitted too? - can't wait to hit the goldfields with it actually.
