Extension cord for the 180 meter

Man you had me going through my trash. I just got the setup Friday. I know it was a 6' Audio cable. Also, The first one I got was the wrong size. Finally I just took my detector in the store and they set me up. I did have to buy a coupler because the only 6' cable they had was one with male plugs on both ends. Sorry

Rob,my area Radio Shack no longer sells the female to male 6ft extension cord,but some stores may still carry this cable.One way and the least expensive,use the female to female connector, Radio Shack skew number for this part 274-874 price $5.79. In your junk drawer is probably an old audio cord that will work well as an extension cord,with this connector added.My favorite cable to use with this female connector is a Radio Shack 6ft (1.82 M) skew number 42-2367 audio cable price $5.97.Hope this helps.Thanks Ron.

For clarity sake you guys must be talking about an audio extension cable for extending Ron's 180 meter, right? Because far as I know Radio Shack has never carried a coil cable extension. All the "similar" coil cables or even plugs my Radio Shack carries don't have enough pins as they are for certain types of CB radios and such.
If anybody out there is confused, all the meters except Ron's would use a coil cable extension, and usually have enough cable length anyway that there is no need for a coil cable extension. I know the Digisearch meter's coil cable is so long that I could easily hip mount the control box and still keep the meter on the shaft. The beauty of Ron's meter though is that it uses a much less bulky audio cable which is really nice.
