Tom, I hope sometime in the not too distant further to be able to hand you a Fisher PI and watch you try it for yourself and tell me what you think.
Exactly when that can happen and how, I am not yet clear, but a long drag up the CA coast with the first one I get my hands on is very much my “Plan A”
I would be very much honored. We have a guest bedroom you can stay in, and the beer is on me

" Tom, your scepticism is no doubt well founded on the history of all currently available PI machines. "
Sheesk, I was there "in the days" . When guys were still using push-button Compasses, and VLF/TR's on the beach (and having to "ride the knob" while in manual VLF mode, whenever they got closer to, or further away, from the water's edge. All the way to the present age. So I've "seen it all". haha
But I'm the first to admit that ... that doesn't mean there's not something new. Or new technology that will leave the guy who waits, kicking himself years later, for not having tried it earlier (once he polls the panel and sees who's-finding-what, haha)
No, my skepticism isn't founded on the history of the currently available PI machines". It is based on the rather comical observation of the various touted "discriminating PI's" (whether via audio clues, or actual on-board filters). There's been (as you know) multiple ones that have come down the pike.
Hence, now, when I hear of "yet the latest release/claim", then yes : You can hardly blame me for being skeptical.
Anyhow, if you find yourself in this part of CA, hopefully some storm erosion is going on . Would love to try it.
