​OK let's here about your Nokta and if you don't have one then your thought's about the NOKTA FORS CORE .. or the NOKTA FORS GOLD>>>
Noktas donot have much of a reputation here in Australia and tend to be (rightly or wrongly) classified in the scam and LRLs catagory.
Maybe they work OK in Euro type ground mineralisation.
Thinking about it kellyco is not a service center for any detector .. So Nokta would have to open there own service center here in the US….
Well then it could be possible for Kco. to service Nokta then . ??FYI.....Kellyco is a certified Minelab service center....
That is something Nokta would have to talk to Kellyco about, I have no doubt what so ever they have the expertise to do the work, Dave is an electronic wizard and Barry does excellent work, but I can't speak for Kellyco since I don't work for Kellyco...Well then it could be possible for Kco. to service Nokta then . ??
.. Yes i was all ready to buy one until i started thinking about service .. And for putting the repair parts in my self it would never happen. So not till they get a service center in the US i will have to wait for the Nokta..That is something Nokta would have to talk to Kellyco about, I have no doubt what so ever they have the expertise to do the work, Dave is an electronic wizard and Barry does excellent work, but I can't speak for Kellyco since I don't work for Kellyco...
I know Kellyco set up an excellent Minelab repair center complete with oscilloscope and custom pressure tank for testing the waterproof detectors.
Just my opinion, but if Nokta really wants a large portion of the US market business which could be huge they need to consider an authorized repair center here in states. Most US buyers are not going to want to a send detectors back to Turkey for repair work and most US buyers do not have the knowledge to open up the controls to change out diodes or oscillators....
Long range locator.What does LRL stand for?
So three of us here at Kellyco, the product test team, took the Nokta FORS CoRe as well as a few other units out to Cocoa Beach for some testing and I have to say the Nokta worked flawlessly. We were all very impressed with the depth of the unit, lack of false signals in the wet sand etc. I've always liked the Nokta FORS CoRe but this was the first time I've been able to use it in a highly mineralized location and as previous reviews have also stated it's a beast of a machine with the ability to function very well in a variety of conditions. Needless to say we had a great time yesterday.
I'm envious. ...[emoji3] [emoji22]Yup, I had gone through the reviews so I knew what to expect but I just like seeing it for myself. We brought at least 10 machines out yesterday and ended up with some great results on our units.
