Minelab Equinox 800 Frequency

In print, or online ? If it's online, can you please provide a link, so we can assess how valid it is. As you must realise, the internet is absolutely awash with ill-informed, fraudulent, speculative, biased, non-scientific hearsay about what detector xyz does or doesn't do.

How ML process the signals is all down to the machine's embedded software, so it would be very difficult to determine what they process, how, what decisions are made re: target/not. etc.

n park & relic modes it runs 7.8kHz & 39kHz. In beach mode it runs 7.8kHz and kHz.

39/7.8=5

probably nothing...

I did read somewhere that it only runs on 2 frequencies at a time, it picks the 2 most appropriate frequencies for the program you are running?
If that's the case then it's not much different than a DFX in multi frequency?
Can anybody confirm this please?

The single-freq operating modes are actually what they say, quite accurately.
For the in-depth technical stuff, these two threads are what you need:

Hi,
Does the Equinox 800 truly run in all the advertised frequencies or is this just another marketing trick like FBS?

If you pick say 20khz to run as a single frequency, is it truly 20khz or just a harmonic of a un specified frequency?

Also I am guessing there is now way to know which frequency it is using when reporting a find in multi?

Thanks
