    Audio feedback recall for the 6000

    No mate. I didn't ask them. I sold it so I didn't have to have any more concerns about it. Yeah if they where happy to go thru all that garbage with warranty they got a great deal... Mind you I saw one go on marketplace for $6000. Bet you that was similar situation.. An inexperienced buyer...

    Audio feedback recall for the 6000

    Simmo I have higher expectations than you it seems when I buy an $8000 electronic tool. Qc should be performed in development and manufacture, not letting a majority of machines be sold faulty. It's inexcusable, and I should not have to be the one to spend good dollars to find out for them. In...

    Audio feedback recall for the 6000

    Hi north-east. Yes it's a bit of a shame for me. In regards to your question, I never tried the headphones,. Didn't feel I should have to as speaker was built in and one of the draw cards for me. I did try the 14" coil also each time and it made absolutely zero difference. Still was noisy as...

    Audio feedback recall for the 6000

    To say I am angry at minelab for this is an understatement. Was so excited to buy one of these as thought I was really upgrading from the Qed. Half a dozen hunts from hell with this detector (gpx6000) was very frustrating with all this noise problem. I really felt like I was wasting my time...

    Creswick and surrounds Victoria information and questions

    Fwd should be fine. Just take it easy driving downward hills. I went a bit fast down one on standard rd in creswick in a vy commodore years ago and got it airborne after i hit the dip at the bottom. Haha. No damage done anyway, but..... Anywhere around standard road and slaty creek should be...

    GPX6000 - Tips, Tricks, Settings, Accessories & Other Notable Findings

    After a 14 hour day and a 10 hour day i found for me the 11 mono was exactly light enough to not use a bungie and am built like a rake (am pretty tuff tho. Lol) The 14" however felt nose heavy to me and also the size felt impracticle for the area i was in, so instead of harnessing up i persisted...

    Connecting panel and appliance to battery gator clamps

    Decided against that panel in the end. I get the feeling that controller will ruin the lithium battery with its float charge eventually..

    Connecting panel and appliance to battery gator clamps

    Thanks rr. I should be able to wind the posts out longer on the battery so each clamp has its own estate on the battery post. I think i might even look at cutting the alligator clamps off and use ring terminals so can still have room for charging the detector. Thanks again. Hope all is well up...

    Connecting panel and appliance to battery gator clamps

    Am thinking about a projecta 120w solar panel and a fridge to use with my 100ah lifepo4 battery. This solar panel has an inbuilt controller and uses alligator clamps to connect to the battery. The fridge will obviously also have alligator clamps. If i attatch the solar panel to the battery then...

    aptX Low Latency compatible gear - Equinox & GPX6000 users

    lad you got it sorted. Now its been paired it should just be turn on and go from now until you repair the earphones to a different device. Speaking of this situation, it is a small but handy feature on my avantree clari air earbuds that they have a pairing memory for 2 devices. For example...

    To pair turn on the detector. Then hold the on/off button (or pairing button) on the torus (the led light will blink blue and purple when paing mode is activated. Can then release the button). Next press and hold the bluetooth button on the right bottom side of the control box until the...

    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    Avantree seem to be good quality. I have avantree clari air 2 earbuds and they sound great with dual drivers each ear. Especially goos inn the hot weather as very light. They cost me $80 so pretty reasonable price. Based on my experience with clari air i would definately not hesitate to give the...

    aptX Low Latency compatible gear - Equinox & GPX6000 users

    I have the avantree clari air 2's on the nox800 and gpx6k. They really work great. They have dual drivers and sound great.and also have some sort of noise cancelling system and of course aptx ll. They took about 10 seconds tp pair but no dropouts once connected so far. I got mine for $70 from...

    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    The 6000 charger has the first diagram so positive polarity it seems. I am pretty sure if its cig lighter male to a 2.1mm plug i should be good to go hopefully

    Minelab GPX6000 release, general information and questions

    Im getting a bit confused by what you are saying about the polarity. I am talking about a dofferent adapter to the one i posted a link to above (whoch had interchangable plugs so maybee you are meaning that one with the polaraity being able to be reversed?) This is the one i am looking at now...
