QED

[Carl-NC]

Hi Carl,

How about you supporting your members of the forum or are you just like Minelab using this and other forums to bleed thepeople dry, Aziz is being ambushed and you do nothing but have a go at Aziz....fair go mate!!!!

Is this forum about big business or the home hobbiest???? , Damn !!, wake up Ron, of course it is all about big busineses bleeding the little guy!!!!

Where's the CHINESE!!!!!

Geotech is all about the home hobbyist. Always has been, always will be. I don't know how you feel it's being used to bleed people dry. Perhaps you can explain.

Now, who has ambushed Aziz, and in what way?

Is this forum about big business or the home hobbiest????

may be this forum is about small home hobbiest and small home hobbiest business. did you meet a KIT from Whites or Minelab? not. empty PCBs from Whites and Munelab for hobbiest? not. why these monsters do not wish to give the issue to people?

"... And if you stopped doing it they would probably leave you alone as well..."

That makes sense.
But, i guess; attacking one of the "main players" is something which suppose to put "weight" on attackers account... at least in eyes of aside observers (not saying it is the case here).

"...You can surf around the various detecting forums and find all kinds of comments about how Minelab is so much better than White's..."

Such comments are BS and no one serious will take such comments for real.
...
Both are good enough... but XP beats them all!



P.S.
Hey! I finally got rotfl smiley working!
Miracle day today!

That's why we are here: to help them and correct such ugly miss!

Hey Carl,

thanks for clarifying your position. I agree (almost) with you.
Let's wait and see the outcome of the lawyers.

Cheers,
Aziz

Whatever the outcome: lawyers will be most happy ones at the end!
Why oh why i haven't finished law school!?

Something we can all agree on.

[Davor]

Ever heard of the one "so simple that even a lawyer can do it"
In short - you are too smart for that.

Funny that you mentioned that, I met a couple once in Kalamazoo, Michigan, very nice people, and I just couldn't grasp how he can support a whole family and a big house being, well, not too gifted in the brains department. He was a patent attorney

This has been one of the most interesting, entertaining and enlightening threads that I've ever read in ANY forum.
The people here are interested in moving beyond the corporate wall of greed and are succeeding.
Carl has an outstanding forum and does a fantastic job of "keeping it clean".
The wealth of intelligence here is amazing, and should be constructed carefully to make the most of this forum.
I've learned a great deal over the years, on my own, working with simple audio amplifier repair, only with the help of books and trial/error. I anticipate learning new things about detector circuits at a much faster rate with the help of this forum than I ever could on my own.
Keeping that in mind, for the greenie, newbie like myself, to the advanced engineer/designer, this forum is a blessing, and we should make the most out of it.
Thanks Carl! You da man!

This has been a most interesting and er, revelatory, thread. There's so much knowledge and passion here, that's for sure. I think I've found the right place after all!

I'm interested in the state of play of this David and Goliath rumble, but I'm having a hard time finding online references. Could anyone help by pointing me at a thread or URL that might show what's happening? Or has the obese female warbled already, and it's all over and a body lies in the dust?

Hi Pete,

Despite the recent kerfuffle, the state of play hasn't changed any since this thread was started, at least not publicly. The schematic is available here, has been for nearly a year. Still waiting on the PCB and code. My guess is we'll be waiting a while longer. Probably until someone completely independent steps in and finishes it off.

I have the latest QED PCB but i will not post on my forum until BW approves.Whether the full code is published on my forum depends on the actions of another party and again the consent of BW. The QED board is open for guests(can't see pictures or attachments) on my forum.

Actually sorry reading that again I guess your probably talking more about the legal crap. As far as I've gathered (just from what other people here have said), BW got a court order to disclose the design to ML which he did.. quite a while ago and that's it. No further action was taken, but I guess it rattled him because it seemed to have stalled the whole thing. Anyway, that's only my perception, I hope I'm wrong and its actually still proceeding behind the scenes. But time is running out. Even if the QED is still the state of the art technology that people claimed it was 1 year ago. For how much longer?

I can assure that it is proceeding behind the scenes! Latest QED rev now has only 1 MC and the board is smaller.

why is it that some of the most talented people in our field of interest cannot grasp the simple fact that until it is in the hands of the end user/builder/tester
all talk videos pictures even schematics or indeed tesimonials by independent experts is by its very nature simply biased-vaporware.
before you all go mad ill clarify this as this point is also lost on some here
its not me who needs convincing or any other user of this forum guru or otherwise its the vast majority of users the "target audience" if this detector is as good as its claimed and is reasonably priced then that means every detectorist
which to me means carl is once again correct a large manufacturer has to produce this or at least promote it but as i understand it you cant have one without the other
ally x
ps the point where other ground breakers failed before is production/marketing and or ease of use
