got the AT today, coil connection and headphone connection took a min or two but wasn't as bad as i expected for a waterproof connection. fired the AT up in the house and it was very stable with no falsing issues

ran thru the modes and really liked the tones in pro mode also the iron audio was very clear and noticable. i thought the AT was balanced well and didn't notice the detector being coil heavy, i'm also used to my heavier GTI so the AT was a welcomed change. recovery speed was very fast and ID'ed the quarter and penny i tossed on the rug very well dispite the nails that are under the rug in the flooring. the only changes i would make to the machine would be a larger display screen, the number ID seemed fine but the notch ID and pinpointing scale were on the small side compaired to my GTI. also the cord on the headphones could be a little longer but once the 1/4 inch headphone adapter comes out that will easily correct that problem. all in all i'm very pleased with the over all package and know this machine will work great.

now i'm just waitin for the snow ta melt
