Finally got all my modifications on my New Excalibur ll done, at least the ones they are going to work with me on.
When I first got my Excalibur ll with the 10" loop I noticed it was a little heavy and out of balance and I had to bend over slightly to get the loop close enough to the ground which put some strain on this old back. Thanks to you great peoples suggestions I ordered a 42" two piece Travel Rods by Plugger straight rod set up, and I'm very happy with it as it has lots of adjustment holes to get the right length and for sure is easier on the back as it distributes the weight better with the control housing and battery pack behind the arm rest.
The feed back problem from my hearing aids is still just that a problem, seems my hearing aids give off some sort of signal that bounces back to the mic off the hard plastic backer plate on the water proof head phones and my hearing aid creates a annoying loud buzz which makes it tough to hear the threshold. Thought I had found someone to change out the head phones but they backed out when they found out they were not totally water proof. They were the Deep Woods Rain Proof by Grey Ghost (no feed back from them just like my Grey Ghost NDT'S for my E-Trac). Lets face it with a hearing aid in each ear I'm not about to be doing any diving. As my son puts it IT IS WHAT IT IS.
Now it's time to find some beach's to work it on. Thanks everyone for your help. Rick
