Dear all,
we have a few PCB 22.0 and PCB22.1 test boards with which we tested the need for some components. It is a minimal version of a detector based on System Blue with only two amplifiers for magnetic antennas. Some SMD components were manually soldered onto these boards. It is a fully usable detector that is equivalent to System Blue in standard operation. This variant will be developed to offer a cheaper alternative entry option for participants.
The price for PCB 22.0 with preamplifier PCB 23.1 is 149 euros plus shipping. The price for PCB 22.1 with preamplifier PCB 23.1 is 199 euros plus shipping. PCB 22.2 will be available from mid-July with preamplifier PCB 23.1 for 249 euros.
Please write me a private message, if you are interested.

I used to have Green system running under the station name of Carrowhawney in 2011 - this was based in Ireland. For various reasons I had to shut it down. I would be interested in purchasing a PCB22.1 complete with the pre-amplifier 23.1 for the €199 to be located in the UK close Bodmin Moor.
I did try and PM you but as my account is new the system wouldn’t let me.

What is the difference to
PCB 22.0, PCB 22.1 and PCB 22.2?
22.2 will be the production controllers to be available soon. The others were prototype, test-build developmental boards for development and testing purposes. Very similar to what will be released shortly, minor differences only for the most part. I think major difference is power supply bus to preamp will be built isolated, rather than a 'jumper select', and at 4.5 instead of 5, to prevent Controller damage if preamp or cat cable should short. Only a VERY small number of x0 and x1 were available. Not sure there are any left. Blue Mini uses the familiar Blue Max firmware.
