davent said:Redfin, I don't think it would.be possible to build a detector with 100% Australian made components.
It is designed and built in Australia, by an Australian.
Its made in Australia full stop.
You are not putting into perspective the majority's favourite ML in here. Are you?Reg Wilson said:.............it is not a multinational conglomerate charging exorbitant prices for equipment cheaply manufactured in third world countries that are notorious for actual slave labour conditions.
Redfin said:Not having a go at the detector or you, just pointing out that not all components are made here.
Time to move on.
Aussiedigs said:Interesting the negativity expressed against a home grown PI detector from what i have seen as a newbie to this hobby. Constructive criticism i can understand but alot of attitudes havent done the maker and detector any favours.
If there is anything not liked about the workings or layout, why not present it as constructive criticisms so we all have the opportunity to benefit in the long run. Howard needs to be of the character to listen and wear constructive criticisms also. A detector needs to be made for the people.
I hope the QED survives and prospers. Hopefully the QED will be my first PI.

Hi Al,
If you haven't already found it there is another forum that loves the QED. Just don't mention the name Minelab and you should fit in nicely.

Both sides of the fence have been as bad as each other over the years including the maker. There's no innocent parties!
In my opinion though the maker has been very proactive in regards to any constructive criticisms since the QED's initial public release for sale seen by the improvements made through to the current PL2 model - many of them put forward by users.
Unfortunately some of the other non financial vested interests/connections in the QED still go on the attack against anyone who does raise any criticism whether it's warranted or not. They ruin it for the maker as much as any of the so called anti-QED mob!
