    aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

    You need the solar panel to perpendicular to the sun to work. And it has to be full sun,like mid-day. If you can’t guarantee these then you need a larger solar panel and it will be necessary to have a battery in the machine to function when the above conditions aren’t met. In other words, it...

    Super modified CTX?

    I use the harness but as you say, it’s the faster swinging that is causing the problem. If I reduce the mass I’ll be better off. The other probable cause is the resistance In the water. I was spending more time in the water than I usually do and the CTX really has a lot. I have ideas I need to...

    Discerning the sounds of silence,and other things.(One Hand Clapping)

    Yes, you have normal-like a beep, long-a longer beep, smooth-like long but smoother transitions between states, and pitch hold- which holds a target tone unril the next one. I use the smooth setting. Gives your brain a chance to recognize the small/deep targets in a fast sweep that you’d miss...

    Discerning the sounds of silence,and other things.(One Hand Clapping)

    Lengthening the tone duration is a nice feature with the CTX. I got an Equinox and missed it right away.

    LCD SCREEN REPLACE

    I attended the Pomona gold show and asked a ML dealer and she said there is a thing like a big pressure cooker and the test actually is pretty quick and usually done on repairs.

    Super modified CTX?

    I would think a shot would be hiding the issue and we'd still be thrashing the tendon. I hesitate to switch arms as I don't want both of them messed up!

    Super modified CTX?

    I used the 18” coil for several months and didn’t see any depth difference from the 11”. In fact I used two of them- one developed a faulty shield and had beeps at sweep ends. Switching back to the 11” was wonderful. I didn’t have any signs of arm trouble back then with either. The 18” would...

    Super modified CTX?

    I bought an EQ800 and used it instead of my CTX for 8 months. It drove me nuts with the foil bits with associated blips and bleeps. Other things annoyed me as well - I made several youtube videos on that. It would have to be run at under 20 sensitivity for the noises to stop and I’d be losing...

    Super modified CTX?

    I have been using the ML harness from the beginning. My hunts are typically 4-6 hours and every two weeks. I work two or sometimes three beaches. I enjoy the beaches even if I don’t find anything but I am not ready to slow down (I am 65 though). I could skip the straight shaft idea at first -...

    Super modified CTX?

    My CTX is destroying my right elbow/forearm. I use the harness but my swings are agressive to cover ground and there is too much mass. I’m toying with the idea of totally restructuring the detector: Straight CF shaft. Coil cable extension. Display cable extension. Both cables attach to...

    LCD SCREEN REPLACE

    I looked at that and it looks awesome for a test lab but if you are repairing hundreds of detectors every week or so it doesn’t sound cost effective given the time and effort per machine required. I really wonder what methods detector manufacturers use.

    LCD SCREEN REPLACE

    What exactly is a pressure test? How is it done without the possibility of water getting into the machine if it fails? I’ve opened my CTX up several times and don’t see anything to screw up when reassembling unless you leave sand on the seal. If you are a wet/dry sand hunter go for it...

    Disable Saltwater and gain 2” depth

    I was running some air depth tests at a park and noticed that there was a 2” depth improvement going to Relic mode from Beach. What the deal? I saw that Relic had Saltwater disabled while Beach had it enabled. Went to Beach, set Saltwater to disabled, and got the extra 2”! See if you...

    GP/GPX coil experiment risk?

    I’ve read some messages indicating putting an incompatible coil on these machines could damage them. I tried a beach hog on my GP Extreme and it worked ok. Now I’d like to try the coil from my whites DF. Risky?

    Do you have a non-working CTX, TDI, or GPX?

    I'd be interested in a repair challenge of a CTX, TDI, or GPX. Has to be a really decent price as I may not be able to fix it. Run over by truck, water got where it's not supposed to, whatever.

    Aluminum shafts for water detectors?

    I just bought a surf DF and am looking to upgrade the shaft to a straight shaft. The original was an S shaft and all the paint had corroded off of it! I have a surf pi pro as well with a kind of crummy looking shaft. Is this corrosion because the previous owners did not wash their detector or...

    GPX tech questions forum advice?

    Are there recommendations for forums for tech questions on GP/GPX as its quiet here. Maybe in Australia where they do mods?

    Excal/Sovereign coil on a GPX?

    Could it work? (I’d be using a GP Extreme....)

    Auto vs Manual Noise Cancel

    I got curious about noise cancel on the CTX as I was doing pretty good at finding targets (not good ones though) but forgot to NC. It was a 10 but auto suggested I think a 2. A 2 brought on a beep of the sound of perhaps the last target found on just about every swing. I’ve had days where it...
