Got a question, kinda urgent..

[detectingpro]

I am about to strike a deal on either a F5 At Pro, T2 or F75. These are from 1-4 years old, before I make a decision... I want to know ASAP if any of these detctors have had "early" issues, like when they first came out did they have problems? Please HElp!

Lots of issues with the very first AT Pros and many had to go back for repairs. That's maybe four or so years ago. Have t heard much about the others. f75 is a good machine but chattery and complicated.

Oh man the posts about the troubles with f75 improper shielding on and on five or six years ago. All in archive now.

If you are getting the used unit from a reputable dealer it will work properly for sure. If from a private party, all bets are off, no matter what brand or model.

Buy the F-75. Yes, it can be unstable and the supposed EMI interference is now gone from early issues. This past November, I bought my first Fisher. A F-70. There are constant noises compared to an AT-Pro, yet metal is ALWAYS under the coil.
In my experience, the F-70 goes deeper than an E-Trac any day once learned.
Don't get me wrong, I believe the E-Trac to be the best all round detector produced.
That said, I'm ordering a F-75 in April.
GL,HH. Peace

Yes op if you can get a good deal consider F70 too. They are all good. You are like me and lean toward fisher but atpro is awesome.
