X70: What do you not like?????

[BillyC]

I have had my X-70 for 9 months.

Pros: Very light. Easy to use. Allows room for growth. Ability to customize patterns, (notch out signals you do not want). Only uses 4 AA batteries. Hey batts can get expensive. Can be swung quick or slow and will hit a target.


Negs: Battery compartment: the springs can get weak. I do not like the headphone door. Sometimes it creaks while swinging it, (could jus be me). The cover requires you to undo coil connector to remove.

I did send mine in 1 time so far. They replaced the touch pad, the battery compartment, no issues since.

Compared to what I had (Radio Shack Oldie) it is night and day better. I really need to get the 10"DD coil.

007,

I agree that the weight is not that big a factor when you're using it for only 4-6 hours a day. But I relic hunt from dawn to dusk, sometimes covering 15-20 miles according to my GPS, in mountainous terrain. I'm in marathon shape, being a mountain climber, but that extra weight makes a difference during a long day. Try it for a whole day sometimes.

I sincerely apologize for not residing in Alaska with 16 hour days ... yes 4 to 6 hour's , but it also takes me well over an hour or 2 to hike to a site deep in the sticks + an additional hour or more drive, and breaks to enjoy the scenery , . I'm in pretty good shape being an avid outdoors men the dusk till dawn is no problemo if I chose, but I'm a late sleeper and enjoy my brewski's ,J.D, and the women ahh the women :P.... oh I almost forgotten vodka martini's " shaken not stirred "
