Below is a post, I sent to Flakmagnet. There are alot of talk about coils out there. How come no one is updating their on-line catalogs? XP coils are on the market but not in catalogs, coils in the catalogs aren't available any more. Not much info out there on price of Commander coils?
If someone wanted a custom coil, such as a waterproof 16-18" ellip. DD w/ the coil wire existing the coil close to flush (90 degree fitting instead of straight out)and close the shaft mount, where would one go?, and how much would we be talking about?
David, I have a 14 and !7 "E", but both mono coil. W/O the Wallaby now, I have a Joey and 11" stock DD coil. Not too impressed w/ stocker.
You've been up in this country and know how brushy it can be. In the desert, one travels low and slow; here blow and go :ROFL: . I'll shove (or did
) a coil under a bush, wiggle and move on.
Personally, I don't like the way they exit the coil with a 3" flex fitting sticking straight up; why not a short 90 degree exit. I know why, that's not how one had to work the desert in the past, but it is now. I don't even like the location of the exit cord; why not closer to the shaft mount? The location of the XP switch is even worse! I'm having trouble finding the coil I want w/o going to the XP (with it'd exposed switch) or back to the wallaby (which has failed me). but I loved!
The commander coils- 15x12 DD, not bad, but not much info on them out there. I believe I would go w/ the 14" E DD if it was still available, but was told it wasn't.
Appreciate your input on the XP, may just paste this onto a couple of forums and see where it goes. Thanks Shep
