What Coils Are Compatible With Spectrum XLT?

All in all the DFX is the one old detector I simply can’t let go of. It’s not the sheer power of the machine, in fact, just the opposite. I like it for cherry picking shallower targets in turf, specifically jewelry, without getting bogged down with the false signals or hits on tiny bits the super hot detectors produce. In fact it’s been too long since I’ve fired the DFX up, and this list has inspired me to do just that, so thanks!

I suppose I'm just old, and Old fashioned, but I miss Whites.....😩

Daniel... there is a simple modification of the XLT... by inserting a capacitor where you can also use coils for DFX/MXT... A colleague has an XLT modified like this... and so he can use both types of coils....

if I manage to find the modification scheme... I will post it here...

 XLT modification.. The basis of the modification is to place one 0.1 microF capacitor between the green and white cable of the coil connector and activate it with a switch.....

So by activating the switch .. you activate the circuit with the capacitor and you can use MXT/DFX coils... And vice versa. with the switch off, you use basic coils for XLT...

 

 

Does Mixed Mode work the same on the DFX plates hosted on the Spectrum XLT?

The "Mixed Mode" is a feature of the detector, not of the coil. So yes, it works.

It's like Locator calls... the coils from DFX work flawlessly on the modified XLT...

Sorry, I'm not an electronics expert. My expert friend asked me if the capacitor in the photo is 1uF or 0.1uF, because it appears to be 1uF.
