Hey Fisher, can DST be applied to the F70?

Never happen.
It would make no sense business-wise to improve a lower end model to bring it up and close the gap that much between that and a flagship.
They make way more money selling the F75, the F70 is already better and more capable than the marketing people at FTP are comfortable with, they prefer this thing staying just as it is as a sleeper that is not talked about as much as the F75.
The less known about the F70 the better.
A dead quiet F70 would cut into the F75 sales for sure I believe, being hundreds less, and those sales guys at FT would have fits if anyone even brought it up at a meeting.
Sure the F75 has all those extra settings and processes that the F70 doesn't and they are worth the extra money if you are that type of person that wants to use and can afford the best.
However we pitiful F70 owners seem to find and do some amazing things with what we have to work with.
Dave J. said straight out the F70 owners should never feel they are missing something if they are not swinging the big boy and all its extras.
I can make my F70 pretty darn quiet at most sites with the right settings and still go amazingly deep...at sites where it isn't so quiet I have learned to deal with any extra noise and still seem to notice most of the good stuff that is buried by learning its language.
My F70 always seems to be able to tell me in one form or another when it notices something good down there, noise or no noise.
Could it be done, I am pretty sure it easily could being the T2, F75 and F70 are all built on the same basic platform.
Will it ever be offered...not in our lifetime.

Right Wulf?
Youd think with Technology being so accurate and instantaneous now a days, a MFG would make a base rig that used the GPS/Cellphone/Google Earth network? Then, they would know right where you are hunting, the historical connotation to it, and just automatically download the appropriate settings to your rig the minute you get out of your car and fire it up!
Sort of like 'OnStar'? Only better?...With the base rig price and a yearly membership fee, with tutorials pinged to you though your headset...'Caution, coil speed too slow'...'Rescan the hole, dummy'...'drive 2.1 miles South on Elm, major sidewalk tearout in process'...'Lost ring just posted on CL 1.5 mile away, Rich Young Widows yard, cash reward' etc....
Weather radar too! 'Big hail storm approaching, 15 mins to hunt' Satellite imagery! "6 empty cans and an abandoned cooler at Wickham park by swingsets, Snickers bar under slides'...Security even! 'Drug addled reprobate approaching from your six', 40yds out, locked on to your position, evil intent with long criminal record, closing fast'...!
Preferably in a Males voice, like James Earl Jones'...I hate taking orders or getting directions from Women, or having them say 'recalculating' or 'missed exit' or 'Where the hell are you we are late for Church!'...etc..
Plus, with Biometric feedback through the hand grip, they could tell you when your sugar/caffiene/alcohol/nicotine balance is getting low and ping you a warning.."Caution, Caution!, proceed immediately to Tipseys Tavern, order a burger and beer!, smoke asap!, eat that snickers bar you found, and swig down the half can of Coke thats in the trashcan 24yds ESE of you over by the blue portashidders'..
I'd drink a half can of Coke out of a trashcan next to a portashidder if James Earl Jones told me to!.....Nobody has to tell me when to go to Tipseys for a burger and beer though, or eat a Snickers bar or smoke even, but then again, I'm old school, in tune so to speak, the youth now a days have to be told everything, and thats where the market is for a detector MFG !..
If JEJ told me when that hot young waitress's shift ends, and 'Onstars' her car so it wont start...that would be double plus good as well!...Muds here to save the day! Of course some modern factory supplied pick up lines would be an optional upgrade, I'm pretty sure the ones I know dont work anymore..."I like to climb trees and make fires, and you are as pretty as a dead standing cedar!!" (That one really got me some hot Mongolian sweetness during the yearly Mammoth hunt!) Or, better yet, "You have beautiful brown eyes, like a wet peat bog at sunup, or a baby seals!"..."Is that Yak butter on your lips, or are you just happy to see me?" Use them if you want...I'm sure a member of the Fisher Onstar system will get appropriate and up to date lines...like: "Wanna see my Indian pennys?" Or, "I make 6 figures!, well, 5 after taxes actually"

I have not been to a doctor in over 10yrs..I self medicate as you are probably aware...last time I went to a doctor, he wanted to do something I considered ungodly to me with his finger!...at his first instruction, I thought he was going to pick my pocket or I was in the wrong room and he was an IRS agent!.
I appreciated his concerned and serious visage, He seemed quite intent, and acted all non-chalant, like its an everything day to him, but none of it made any sense to me? I dont try to judge other peoples choice of hobbies, but I mean, What the hell? What are you going to find out by doing that? What I had for breakfast or I'm easy and good at parties?
I aint paying nobody any money for something I can easily do myself right?....Damn!
The 'Fisher Onstar Detecting System' cant get here quick enough for me!...It would probably even do these posts automatically even!...That would save a guy some time from typing for sure...especially with one finger, my other hand is otherwise engaged at the moment and classified as a 'Doctor'..if a guy golfed, he'd need three arms...

Any decent dog grooming salon is good enough for me!...A guy can get a full body shampoo, flea dip, haircut, nail trim, anal glands expressed, a nice baby powdering as well as a stylish free bandana for @ $30 bucks in about 1hr...plus a nice crunchy treat! Sort of like a granola bar.!.
Tip: Dont wiggle around in the sink or bite, or you will get the muzzle! Unless you are into that sort of thing!...
Take a nap after, its freaking glorious!
Much better than sitting around in a depressing Human waiting room catching up on the incredible exploits of 'Goofus and Gallant' in Highlights, waiting for a God Bereft High Dollar Humanoid Doctor tail pipe prodder Hobbiest to stick a cold digit up your coal chute to tell you you need to get on some medication!!....10X the money and no bandana or treat even!!
I'm really hoping that fine Collie kennel mate I met last week friends me on facebook...I really thought we had a connection?...shared hatred of squirrels, chipmunks and stuff?...That German Weimeraner chick was pretty fine too, although high maintenance and full of herself, "Hey, look at me! Im a short hair!" I like how she talked though,..all "zee and zis" and stuff...the hell, that cute little quiet wire haired Dachsy a few pens over is more my speed....you cant run far or fast on those short little legs you know, plus, we both like to dig....Only trouble is, my Wife drops me off and doesnt return for days! Those kennels get cramped, and after a while, talking about chipmunks and squirrels with my cell mates is the same old thing...We all laugh about our Human Masters though!...Those damned bipeds would be lost without us! Unattended, I doubt they'd make it through to nightfall!
Excuse me for a moment gentlemen, that freaking mailman is coming up the road once again begging for a good chasing...and, I have to take a mighty wiz..and I'm hungry...like usual...Like I always say to the fat lazy and obedient Golden Retriever next door, "This bandana aint gonna chase itself!".

Yeah Rick? Well, I dont have a facebook account, I figure Findmall is good enough...and I dont like most Humans, (present company excluded of course) they are notoriously unskilled, untrustworthy, and unreliable...plus, Humans are always stealing my newspaper, wrecking my cars, stealing my stuff, and crapping in my yard! Talking about my own kids here, and my lawyer.....
I'd take a good dirt fisher F forum buddy with a pop up camper over any of my own loin spawned progeny anyday!...Not saying I dont have good genes, I gave it a yeomans attempt at their inception, I remember that well!!...damn you gameboy! praise Shiva and Social Security! If I have any hope to survive the coming zombie apocolypse...its gotta be with My F70, the Good Lords mercy, and a piss pot full of Q's!
On that I can trust! Oh, and I also got a pretty sweet katanas I made myself, Mich Ash handles,..twin stroked BrazillianTramontina steel.... amazing! The F70and the kustom katana are with me always...I also would like to think God is too...though I would not blame Him if He wasnt...a guy can only take so much of me before throwing in the towel right?

Probably has a lot to do with the microprocessor on the detector. The F75 LTD had an upgraded processor from the original F75 in order to run the BP and CL processes. When we went through the F75 LTD2 upgrade process, First Texas ran into snafu's with older F75 LTD boards that were unable to take the upgrade, and were swapped out for new ones. That said, I'd suspect that the only way the F70 would be able to get a DST upgrade would be a new board with a newer/faster microprocesor.

The F70 already has a form of user adjustable DST. Its call the 'Threshold' control. EMI mitigation is the primary reason it exists on the F70.

Well I'm glad the Teknetics side disagrees with your logic.REVIER said:
