obiegowa opinia jest taka, że Omega to odpowiednik F70 a nie F5 jak pisze Denar
Zatem obiegowa opinia jest błędna. Fisher F70 to uproszczony F75, który z kolei jest rozwinięciem Tekneticsa T2.
Natomiast Fisher F5 to wykrywacz zaprojektowany od nowa, w założeniu jako urządzenie prostsze i tańsze od rodziny F70/F75, a jego "platforma" służy również do budowy modeli Bounty Hunter Platinum i Gold, a po pewnych modyfikacjach również dla Teknetics Omega 8000. Powtarzam to za wywiadem udzielonym w necie przez Dave Johnsona, głównego inżyniera firmy First Texas (produkującej BH, Fisher, Tek). Projektantem F70/75 był sam Dave Johnson, natomiast F5/O8000 to konstrukcja inż. Saad'a.
I jeszcze zacytuję te wypowiedzi:

The Omega circuitry and software are a major revision of the Fisher F5 (...) The basic software concepts of the F5 in turn, were derived from the F70, but not the code itself because the machines use completely different microprocessors. (...) The F70 circuit platform is related to the F75 and Tek T2, which despite their differences all run at 13 kHz. The F5 and the new Tek Titanium series of which the Omega is a member, are a different family of circuits, all running at 7.8 kHz. The Bounty Hunter Platinum and Gold were an earlier version of this basic circuit platform. The mechanical design of the Omega is a revision of the Bounty Hunter Platinum.
The Omega and F5 have their own unique user interfaces and different features, but both are simple and easy to use. The two machines are fairly similar in performance and in operating characteristics.
The F75 & F70 were major revisions of the T2 platform.
For several years we've had under development a totally new platform for use in products which don't have to push the extreme leading edge of performance. That platform was first brought into production as the BH Gold and Platinum. With major revisions it became the Fisher F5, and with further revisions the platform became the Teknetics Delta, Gamma, and Omega. Dave was the chief designer for all these products, but most of the actual development work was done by Jorge Anton Saad with assistance from other engineers.
