Don3 11 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 In case people didn’t know there is now two versions of the GM1000. It’s all in the firmware. The newer version allows you to ground balance by pressing and holding the discriminate button. The original version does not have this option. Don. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just press and hold the button over the area you are working. He also told me you don’t need to pump the GM1000 for balancing. That’s counter to what other ML reps/ dealers have told me. He said it will auto balance as you are swinging it. Regardless of version. That’s news to me. Don. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Save even more money if you are looking for a used one - buy the old ‘slow’ version from someone who wants the ‘updated’ one. You’ll be happy, the seller will be happy, and the dealer selling him a new one will be happy too! Win win win! Other than the few seconds lost doing the ground balancing, they’re identical units.
