Can One Change The Tone On A Tesoro Silver Saber Umax?

[Ham]

I have a tesoro silver saber umax which i'm very happy with, except.........i would prefer to have a lower tone indicator. Is there a device or mod i can attach to my headphones to accomplish the above?

Contact Tesoro and ask.
I know the golden used to have a tone mod and the cibola and vaquero can get a high tone mod.

I love the high tone from the last generation tesoros

I'm sending by vaq in to get a higher tone but it won't be quite as high as the older Micromax's
But either way they will be able to tell you if you can or not.

FYI in my opinion only, the higher tone is more descriptive than the newer lower tone. But that's just me. It's all about your enjoyment with your detector

Stefan, as you and I were discussing, you can't trust the audio frequency in the Tesoro online manuals.

I've been youtubing Tesoro audio and the manuals are wrong.

The Outlaw says 630hz which is the same as the older Tesoros, well, it ain't.

And a high tone mod Vaquero isn't as high as the older 630hz models.

I found an app that works well,

Visually displays spectrum. Harmonics are present but I assume the lowest frequency displayed is the fundamental, a square way also I assume with all the harmonics.

I thought about sending in my Vaquero for higher tone mod, but if it isn't like the good old days, I'm not interested.

What am I missing?

Seems someone at Tesoro decided to get away from the high tones and no motion metal. Lawsuit? Copyrights? Hold my beer, watch this?

The high-tone Vaquero and Cibola IS quite high; much higher than Outlaw, and closer to the old μMAX high tones. I like my high-tone Cibola and Vaquero and they do let me hear faint signals better than low tone versions. BTW, the tone conversion costs only $15 for original owners. I had to pay the $50 charge to have my Vaquero done (second owner), but liked it so much, I went and bought a factory high-tone Cibola.

I have never heard of Tesoro changing the tone of a Silver Sabre μMAX, but you can always email Allan or Rusty and ask about it.

Sending mine in too. Doing the mod and checkup on my 25th anniversary vaquero. Figure if I'm spending 50 might as well have the coil and machine checked out for same price lol
