I guess it depends on management and how they can make money nothing else seems to make a difference. What ever happened to the French guy with his pi that could discriminate.

That's heartbreaking, Carl. I was hoping for the SMF project by early-to-mid 2023. Rats!There is nothing on the immediate horizon from FTP. There is an SMF project in the works but I'd be very surprised if you could buy it for Christmas next year. Impulse Gold is probably the next release, likely mid 2023 and likely that's all for 2023.
I also wish they had a dedicated spokesperson who could keep the consumers informed of what they are doing and what might be projected. I did speak with someone at FTP who did inform me of a unit they "have been working on" for some time, and he shared a model name, as currently used there, but nothing more specific than that such as frequencies, physical packaging, etc. It wasn't Carl who would be the one individual with FTP who I would put full trust in, but it was someone who should have been "in-the-know".I wouldn’t be surprised if FT phases out Hobby Detectors completely. They have other money making ventures that are probably more profitable. Some of their key employees have left and there’s not really a hobby detectors spokesman to say yeah or neh . I wish FT would comment on what their status is on Hobby Detectors …….. 😐
The day we phase out hobby detectors is probably the day we lock the doors for good. Metal detectors pay the bills here, and FTP currently owns the low-end market. That's just not what most of the folks on these forums are looking for.I wouldn’t be surprised if FT phases out Hobby Detectors completely.

I understand, the purpose is to make money. I made outstanding finds with my Fisher CZs. Just wish they would bring something to challenge the high end XPs, Nokta, MLs …… to spend my money $$$ on US made detectors .🇺🇸😃🇺🇸The day we phase out hobby detectors is probably the day we lock the doors for good.
