Question.... regarding coils for the 6000
- Thread starter John Fla
- Start date
Even though they are all working at that 6.59 kHz frequency, there are other differences.
The 6000 Pro XL, XL Pro, 5900 & 6000 Di Pro SL, XLT, Classic III Plus and newer version Classic III SL, Classic ID, Classic IDX & IDX Pro, Quantum II and Quantum XT/QXT Pro, Eagle II, Spectrum and a few others use the newer "Blue Max" series of coils, and other labels that are compatible.
The older 6000 Di Series 3 and the original 6000 Di Pro and some others of that circuitry design use the older-type coils. There was a 10" coil made for them, but they can't use the current coils.
In my opinion, the 6000 Di Series 3 is probably at its best with the then-standard 8" coil. The newer XL Pro can be operated at a somewhat slower sweep speed and comes with the 950 if you want coverage. My personal favorite coil for the newer model is a 6

By design, the XLT is in the "four-filter" or "fast-motion" category, but not like those earlier four-filter models we were familiar with.
The first motion discriminators designed by George Payne, the Bounty Hunter Red Baron's, required a near whipping-speed sweep of the coil. White's earlier motion discriminators were just slightly slower and through they years they improved upon them a little.
The 5900/6000 Di Pro SL's, with their Signal Balance controls and much improved circuitry, were able to be swept at a "comfortable" moderate-motion sweep speed. Using a smaller coil, such as the 6
