Here is some more photos and info about the New CTX3030. The full details will be released at 830pm eastern time on Thursday the 10th at this address. http://www.ctx3030.com/
The MSRP has not been released, not even to dealers. So everything on the net about the price is pure speculation. This is not official but all signs point to a weight over that of the Etrac with most sources reporting 5lbs 3 ounces (see point one below) but it is suppose to be very well balanced.

I copied the following from another forum. It is from one of the field testers


1. First of all this detector is a giant leap forward. It may weigh more than the E-Trac, but the balance will give the impression it's lighter. Remember this detector is waterproof, and that is why it weighs what it does.

2. Waterproof... This is something Max and myself have been trying to achieve customising FBS detectors. This is fantastic and exactly what many people wanted. 10ft is great for wading in the surf or up small streams.

3. Wireless audio.... Free yourself from a lead to the detector.... But it's hard to please everyone supplying dedicated headphone, so instead we're getting a module to plug our favorite headphones in.

4. FBS2 is one of the areas I can't talk about yet.... but look at the screen in the released media (hint: the red streak).... FBS2 is why I use this detector.

5. GPS - Possibly a first for a high end detector? Whether it is of any use or not – we will have to wait and see. Personally this has opened up so many opportunities

6. PC mapping - I haven’t seen this on a detector before..... again I'll have to wait befoore I can tell you about this feature.

7. Full colour display.... I have read several guys saying they can't see any use for this.... for a bit of fun, try to guess what minelab have done this for (Hint: think ferrous, non-ferrous and FBS2).

I promise you, there are features in this detector you won't believe!
