Mike Hillis Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Pretty fast shipping. The shipped it on the 12th and I picked it up at the post office on the 26th. 15 days from Russia to New Mexico, USA.Good looking coil. Not too heavy but it does add a little front end weight on the F75. I get a lot EMI in the house but the limited bench testing was good on the F75 LTD. I tried it on the F19 and F5, too. Works great on the F5. Works on the F19 too, but not as well as the F5 and F75.I'll post a review in a couple of weeks after I get some time on the ground with it. But from the quick bench testing I did last night I can already tell it will do what I bought it to do.HHMikeRIF Ranger 14" x 10" DD Coil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Happy to, I wanted to see what it looked like. Reminds me of my Infinium 14" x 10", nice looking coil. If you get the chance, can you get an exact weight on it for us? I do not trust published weights. I have actually heard of manufacturers excluding the cable weight, as if that is not part of the coil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi Mike,  I was moving stuff to the Archives and came across this. What did you end up thinking of these coils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hillis Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Steve,  Most of my urban EMI is too much for it on the F75 even with DST.  But I do like it on my 7.8 kHz units well enough for my sports field hunting.   I like the ground coverage and the depth is ok for what I'm using it for. That is pretty much the only reason I still have it.  Not a coil I'd recommend to a friend.  HHMike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
