Have they lost their minds? 2600 for what What makes them think its should be priced at 3 iPads or even as expensive as a new computer server. They prob lost my business over this 1
Minelab is not the same company what it was when Sovereign and explorer was made, CTX is still based on old Explorer etrac and in it nothing special to have this price, possibly Minelab did pricing before 2008 . Buy Etrac or explorer and dont worry about stupid Minelab.Have they lost their minds? 2600 for what What makes them think its should be priced at 3 iPads or even as expensive as a new computer server.

You obviously don't know much about it if you think that. The FBS2 machine is very different and has a chip in the coil similar to the Xterras, which FBS machines do not (just to point out one of the more easily noticed differences).Minelab is not the same company what it was when Sovereign and explorer was made, CTX is still based on old Explorer etrac and in it nothing special to have this price, possibly Minelab did pricing before 2008 .

Its looks like you dont understand much, chip in the coil, OK and what ... You think its very important?... and what this chip do? can you explain me.You obviously don't know much about it if you think that.

This is an excerp from a post on another forum that was written by someone that was a tester for both the Xterra and the CTX.Regarding the chip in the coil - I don't know if it really was to get the machine quicker - perhaps it was, as FBS isn't really a quick technology it appears. Or was Minelabs real intent to secure the aftermarket coils? I sure can't argue either - and think both are actually true.
That Ukrainian company is illegally producing coils for the Xterra with pirated technology. Assuming that they are doing the same with CTX coils, it begs the questions,"Are you willing to risk your $2.5k machine over stolen technology?" and, "Are you willing to sell out legitimacy to save a buck while supporting illegal activity?"Since that Bulgarian coil company is making coils for the X-Terra (which has a chip) it will be interesting to get their take as I hear they are working on CTX coils - and they for sure will know about the CTX and already do know about the X-Terra's.
