Anyone carrying the Teknetics Patriot yet?
Anyone carrying the Teknetics Patriot yet?
FYI: "Updated" release date: 4/11. (Per the FTP Director of Marketing.)
Let's see ~ we've gone from 3/1, to 3/7, to 3/13, to 3/20, to 4/11.
Personally, I'm done holding my breath.
I believe the website was always going to be pre-order until a certain date. I haven't heard from Russ or Gene but sound like 4/11 may be expected ship date and website for pre-order will still be up when they fix the issues they are having. I'm just the messenger...don't shoot me! I wanted a Patriot to try the F70 one last time. But got an F75 instead.
Yes, that's the expected ship date. I admit to being a bit salty about it, but ~ why tease it for a month, then announce a launch date before you have everything ready to roll out? A ploy to drum up more anticipation? I don't need more anticipation! Heh....
Poor marketing and project management? Couldn't tell you but it does seem to be common for most detector manufacturers.
I noticed their ad has added detects coins to 12", so maybe that means they fixed something? It's not unusual to make last minute changes after hearing from field testers.
Teknetics ad.
