Only 29 sleeps to go. Not long now kiddies! :lol:

Even if the performance gain is negligible it will create enough doubt in some that they will need to have one or they won't sleep at night.
Others will see any performance gain as a must have to give them an edge.
Some will just appreciate the modern user interface, built in wifi & onboard battery. Any extra performance or timings will be a bonus.

Whats the consensus on its functions,anyone know or think it will have a gps built in?
grubstake said:I expect the 6000 will have a one-piece, styled plastic casing like the GPZ and CTX, as the GPX-series tin box is too easily counterfeited. The 6000 will likely also have a large display screen above the handgrip, like the other recent machines.
mudgee hunter said:I wonder how much cheaper the 7000 would be without all the gps bells and whistles where on it.
I was surprised to see it didn't have more than just the one custom setting available on it.

Hello Dave & Betina. I havent heard of a GPS fitted, could be??
But I have heard a few things about the new 6000, and have seen a photo too, it does look like a 7000.
Yet it looked like a smaller version to me. The coil looked like about 14 inches in size. There was a speaker? grille, near the rear fitted battery.
There are a few other things released about it so far, and these are:
Quote: Minelab will soon release a new GPX detector which introduces an ease of use technology. Called Geo-Sense Pulse Induction.
This sounds to me like a new automated ground tracking of Earth Field noise cancellation.
It also has Spread Spectrum, TX RX.
Spread spectrum generally makes use of a sequential noise-like signal structure, and is used to "spread" a radio signal over a wide frequency range several magnitudes higher than minimum requirement.
The core principle of spread spectrum is the use of noise-like carrier waves, and, as the name implies, bandwidths much wider than that required for simple point-to-point communication at the same data rate.
Benefits of Spread Spectrum. Resistance to Interference Effects.
There are many benefits to spread-spectrum technology. Resistance to interference is the most important advantage.
Intentional or unintentional interference are rejected, because they do not contain the spread-spectrum key.
Only the desired signal, which has the key, will be seen at the receiver when the DE-spreading operation is exercised.
You can practically ignore the interference, narrow-band or wide-band, if it does not include the key used in the DE-spreading operation in the control box.
There has been talk of it coming out with 3 coils? An announcement date expected on the 18 / 12 / 20, and a release in early 2021.
Quote: "progressed development of our new GPX replacement gold detector, to be released in FY21;"
Cheers from ozziegold.
BigWave said:I reckon the use of spread spectrum in the GPX 6000 detection capability is just rubbish.
I have used Spread Spectrum and Frequency Hopping technology in military communications for anti-detection, anti-jam etc, but do not believe it is applicable here (IMHO).
Also, who wants to pay for another GPS? I'd rather it didn't.
If it just has a few more timings and a GPS, then I'll hang onto my 4500.
FCC said:INTENTIONAL RADIATORS (Part 15,Subparts C through F and H)
An intentional radiator (defined inSection 15.3 (o)) is a device that intentionally generates and emits radio frequency energy by radiation or induction that may be operated without an individual license.
Examples include: wireless garage door openers, wireless microphones, RF universal remote control devices, cordless telephones, wireless alarm systems, Wi-Fi transmitters, and Bluetooth radio devices.
