My favorite detector, the XL Pro

There seem to be many XL Pro-appreciators out there, and I'm certainly one of them. Permit me to sing it praises one more time. Here's my favorite setup minus the Koss headphones and Bullseye II pinpointer. Got 'er in early 2005. One of the last new ones the dealer had in stock as a backup to my XLT I had been using for over 10 years. After using the XL Pro, I never went back to the XLT. The XL Pro has as good as the performance of the XLT and is much simpler to operate and has much sweeter audio. Not that the XLT is bad, they are equally as capable performance-wise, but the analog controls of the XL Pro are FAR simpler and more intuitive. You have to spend so much more time tweaking and going through endless menus to get maybe 5% more performance out of the XLT.

I also agree :clapping:! I have several detectors, but the xl pro is the first one I take off the rack. Just love to hear it's tone when it hits a target :wiggle:!
 
The only detector from White's that will give the XL PRO a very hard time is the Vision.
But the XL PRO still can hold its own with most of the top ended detectors.
NOT BAD FOR AN OLD DOG.
I had a 6000D and now the XL PRO.
That is a loooong time with the 6000.
As many know the XL PRO was the 6000XL
