Charlie P., has Sunray stopped making probes for ETracs? I looked high n low earlier this year and couldn't locate one.
Thanks
Peace ✌
I had heard there was a problem with Minelab not releasing either the licensing or component patents so SunRay could incorporate the components of some Minelab detectors into their probe. It could be just a problem of fitting it into the probe. I believe Minelab puts a processor in their coils or shafts(?). As I recall it was driven by Minelab and the price SunRay would have to pass along brought it over $250 for the probe, and they figured there would be no market. I may be miles off on this but it was rumored around back when I was researching my last detector purchase.
I see on a cached version of their website they required you to send in the upper shaft so they could fit the X-1 probe at the SunRay plant. Mine just plugged in.
