Other than an FFT to decompose the transmit wave form into individual frequencies, there really isn't anything computationally expensive going on in SMF detectors.
I've never even heard of these but they look like some pretty cool machines! A lot of big words on the sales pitch tho. I wouldn't hate giving one a try! I do wonder though, what's the real world in the field differences when out detecting???
Exactly AC! That was the point of my post
They make competitive detectors at low prices.

Fair enough prices! Same ball park as the Nokta with a lot more big fancy words LOL. I wouldn't mind giving one a shot!They make competitive detectors at low prices.
I've come across a few experienced hunters that own them, and they give them a thumbs up. In fact, their newest SMF detectors, use the same technology as the Nox.

Yup, totally agreed. Processor speed nowadays is in no ways related to performance.Exactly AC! That was the point of my post
...not just to debunk the myth that the "processor is the bottleneck", but also to show how dirt cheap detector processors are to purchase.
Haha, R&D isn't cheap.
Would like to compare this with my Manticore in the water!!They make competitive detectors at low prices.

That is actually not a bad starter set up. Looks light, and compact. Also the screen glare feature is pretty cool.They make competitive detectors at low prices.

Yup, Remember that the next time a 1.6k detector comes along. You're getting ripped off, plain and simple.
$38 in raw material? I know that the BOM for just the PCB is typically in the $50 range. In any case, I suggest you buy all the raw parts and build your own detector, including writing all the software. Oh, and you also have to buy all the tooling for the injected plastic. One way or the other, you'll feel better.
Fair enough Carl, but that wasn't the point of my post.
Duh... This is business 101 , which I'm well aware of. The exact details idk because I'm not in it. But it's rampant everywhere. Just saying it could be better. Take Nokta. There profit taking for the product they sell is much lower that say ML or XP....1 of my fields of expertise was in the pest/termite control industry. Talk about a ripoff. Devil is in the details of course but the cost of actual chemical used on a home was maybe $5-$10. Yet the cost to the customer to treat their home was anywhere from $500-$1600.
No you wouldn’t.
