    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    A guy in my unit in the Cav at Hood had a Gremlin.....I would not go around the block in a Pacer. :ROFLMAO:

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    If there is an FCC regulation then someone can put it up, but that will be hard because it does not exist. We went through this about 8-10 years ago and Reg Sniff myself and several other people made it clear on the Whites Forum this same rumor was nonsense. (Handheld 2 way radios of 4 watts can...

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    Making the field bigger is what more power does--it does not shrink it and its not "current" that does it, but voltage. My Treasure Baron had a Deep Hunter module using 8 more batteries and I can assure you it added the 40% extra depth it claimed.

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    WHO is putting out this FCC fairy tale? It is not true. PIs exceed that amount significantly. Metal detectors are unregulated.

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    It is not regulated and limited to 1 watt by the FCC. PI exceed that amount.

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    If it is to the coil what can it be but transmit? What do you base your statement on that the transmit energy does not seem to be increased if its to the coil?

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    There is too much not knowing and "too much assuming going on out there" (to paraphrase Sen Howell Heflin) The frequencies do not get equal power from the batteries because they do not need it to fill the Q of the loop for a particular frequency. Filling the Q means there is a lower rate of...

    Found my first "Ike" dollar today!

    Will give you ,25 cents for it, will not fit a slot :ROFLMAO:

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    That is not the way VLF works. It is constant wave meaning it transmits and receives continuously. Start and Stop is pulse. The frequency determines the amount of power needed to fill the "q" of the loop. A frequency of 40 kHf is very high energy and fills the loop with little battery power. The...

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    I know of no one that bought a detector with some one else's "funds." Where do I move to to do this? For the record I want the power in transmit & receive, not processing. The XLT had enough to be comfortable, was easy and was fast: and the V3i would turn a NASA engineer psychotic. MORE I do...

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    Saying you are satisfied just means it meets your expectations, needs, or desires. ( I'm sure that people who bought the AMC Pacer or Gremlin said the same thing.) It says nothing about the capabilities of the detector, just you way you see it.

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    That is goobledegook. A detector does not need much computing power to start with or reflected signal. Detectors today are induction balance and that means there is a frequency shift that is measured. (The PRG was non motion and would i.d. at 12" in 1972 in wet salt and it was an IB. But get it...

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    50% more power does add more depth but does not double it. Go to Fisher's Site and to Dave Johnson's essays. http://www.fisherlab.com/hobby/davejohnson/davejohnsonjohngardinerinterview.htm There are few people that understand detectors more or have had a bigger impact (starting with the...

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    What does that even mean? If you put 50% more power into the coil is it transmitted, and if not into the ground where?

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    BECAUSE something is on youtube does not make it true. Nobody KNOWS the transmit power figures of metal detectors because they are not published and never have been, and Pulse detectors not by an exclusion in law but by how they operate (shutting on/off many times a second which allows battery...

    Please list your favorite detector of all times

    A '65 Sport Fury or a '60's or very early '70's Roadrunner (with a 426 Hemi at 425 horses and 490 lb⋅ft of torque): they could haul my heavy X-100 and even heavier PPD1 PI around that used 8 D cell batteries.:D

    Please list your favorite detector of all times

    Any CZ, but I like the 70 Pro most. Will never sell my Mk-1 though. It will do better in very high trash. (Wish I had my Compass X-100 back too.)

    How many remember the very first detector you started the hobby with and how long ago ??

    An AH Pro Super Pro Off Resonance detector in 75. It would discriminate thru screw cap. The best discriminator ever made. Got it from Herb Jeffries at Mission Rexall Drug.
