Radar Image Detector! OOOOOO OOOOOO OOOOOO!

Ah more of the troll with a new username trying to badmouth the Nokta without rhyme or reason. Notice how often new accounts are created specifically for that purpose? It's getting old. ANYWAYS....


As promised earlier, here's a pic of the Nokta with the spare copy of the manual open at the ground balancing page. Yes indeed it has ground balancing. To the right is my TF900. I'm off to prep for a hunt!

All soil has a resistance to radio waves at specific frequencies. If that unit has ground balancing, it may be to allow the optimum frequency to be set for the soil conditions and be unrelated to the ground balance as we think of it in metal detectors.

	Well, you are entitled to your opinion, however, so far that I have seen the major opinion is that Nokta and Kellyco information is suspect and self-serving. While I can not say that, I have to go with what I have been seeing, on many sites, including Turkish and Russian sites. What I have seen says *it looks good but is it for real?* So far, I have not seen indisputable data, only unsubstantiated claims. There are so many doubts cast on this machine that I really do not even want to comment on it, because of the contention involved. Personally, I do not care how good it MIGHT be, I can not afford one, even at half the price. A Huge price does not make it a good machine. Money may talk but it does not necessarily tell the truth.  If you like the Nokta, take a look at the Puls, sold in Germany.... it is interesting, but more money talk.  I  could care less, really, if the Nokta HAS ground balance, I am not getting paid to review metal detectors or I would be covering all, with minute detail (and go a little crazy???), especially if I were paid by the word.  Why are you guys working so hard to prove Nokta?  goldigger

I suspect more than anything else that they are trying to buy wisely rather than prove the Nokta. Know what I mean?

The most aspersions have been cast by the "single post wonders" who try to make it seem like a crowd disapproves of the machine by registering many times with throw away e-mail addresses. Again, know what I mean?

As to the expense, you must realize how much those low frequency radar circuits cost and how huge the electronic support system is. That probably makes the bulk of the price tag.

Well, I certainly wouldn't use a Nokta for a coin hunt but might consider one if I had located the general area of a buried cannon or chest of treasure. Know what I mean?

Herman Goering advocated the concept of truth by repetition. So do those responsible for the many posts all around the net which disparage the Nokta without reason. It's having the intended effect of creating negatively erroneous 2nd hand opinions; such is their agenda. It's obvious that they have an axe to grind with Nokta; don't fall victim to it.

As for my reasons for defending the machine, I've stated them in prior postings in this thread. Loth as I am of repetition, the most important reason is: should my postings convince even one potential buyer to test out the machine instead of being made unduly wary due to unsubstantiated slander, I shall be content. Maybe most of you are fortunate enough to enjoy this hobby in an area where you need not fear digging up old munitions. People in my neck of the woods have been maimed or died from encountering such devices. The Nokta gives us a chance to substantially reduce such risks at a lower price than an OKM.

I am not as technically inclined as GoldDigger1950 and will not even attempt to comprehend the electronics of this machine. All I can say is: I have the machine, I use it extensively in the field, it really works well and I love it!
