I've seen several post concerning the operating frequency of the C$. Without using names or titles, some time back I was enquiring about DPA technology. I was speaking with a person who should know this machine inside/out. I was then told (well, more like "almost" told-wink..wink) without even asking, nor being on the subject of frequency that; The C$ was like the CZ's a Dual VLF emitter. True or false...I have no idea, but I wonder if anyone else has been told the same?

it's probably like the Excel frequency, which is published <img src="/metal/html/shrug.gif" border=0 width=37 height=15 alt=":shrug"> But engineering is not my thing at all so I'm just guessing.....

I found the following on a well known site and have copied and pasted portions of it here. Take a look underneath the heading of Features, on the seventh line down???

My guess is that it uses 1 frequency in disk mode, and a different one in all metal. It will hit some targets in all metal mode, that it don't see in disk or pinpoint mode. Mostly hot rock types of targets. I run disk mode with nothing disked out, not even iron.
I'll stick to my guess until Fisher lets the facts out. hehe

Here is a 3 scope scans of a few of the Fisher units.
The first one is a Coinstrike.
The second one a 1270
The third one a CZ
As you can see the signal from the CZ is quite a bit different from the single freq. C$, and the 1270.
You have to admit, Fisher managed to keep interest up with this subject. This multi. frequency thing certainly has a lot of people mystified, and it

They were just quick scans, holding the cam. in one hand, and the pickup coil for the scope in the other.
All kidding aside, I remember reading something from Fisher a long while back of it being 7khz. on the C$. I didn't give it much thought at the time.
Lot's were mystified about it because the performance was up there with all of them. So they were looking for a answer, and they assumed it was multi-freq. No one gave it a thought that it could be from good circuit design. <img src="/metal/html/clap.gif" border=0 width=20 height=30 alt=":clap">
It doesn't necessary have to be multi-freq to be top performing. <img src="/metal/html/super.gif" border=0 width=26 height=28 alt=":super">
I wish I knew a little more about this, <img src="/metal/html/shrug.gif" border=0 width=37 height=15 alt=":shrug"> it's certainly a nice running detector.

I know we've talked about before that everyone thinks a bunch of arrows going into the ground has gutta be the best. So with Fisher saying the C$ is "proprietary" it leaves everyone guessing <img src="/metal/html/blush.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":redface">
