I noticed on the last couple of trips that my Excal when first turned on will not give me a threshold, even if cranked... I paid closer attention this last time out, and it seems to take a few minutes swinging in the water before it will, then it is usually turned up too loud and I have to turn it down.. It seemed to not make any threshold tone if starting out in dry stuff, only comes on after going into the water, but if I get out of the water after it begins to tone, then it will continue humming over the dry..
Since I am new to the Excal's, maybe they all do this, but I would hate to have it die on me suddenly.. It has a couple years of an extended warranty left on it, but am hoping not to have to send it in for "tune up" until the gold season is over...
Thoughts?
