DetectorPro Pirate Question

[Ham]

I'm only interested detecting in 6" of salt water as well as on salt wet sand. Would the "Detector Pro Pirate" be a practical entry level detector for my use?

I understand french, but English is the language of TNET ;-)

I'm not an expert, but based on the experience of OBN, the only underwater speakers available the market are Piezzo and all manufacturer are using the same = poor quality. The GG Amphibian are much better but won't resist underwater for a long time but they are perfect for wadding (OBN gave me 2 weeks to break them with an underwater usage). The AGA bone phone is the ONLY real underwater speaker that work great >95db with CTX (GGUW = 75db).

Trust me if I could find an other Underwater speaker I will buy it, especially during the winter time when the water is >24°c ... I could avoid to wear a diving hood.

Sorry for that, but there is no other solution on the market IF YOU WANT TO DIVE. For wadding and occasionally submersed : OBN Amphibian, CHief surf Phone (from MAL, Malcom Potter), Sunray...

Thank you Frog. I'll try to make my headphones with these speakers (ESU 50444) they have an impedance of 100 ohms like original speakers on the Koss UR-30. I'll say you the result when the job is finished

I finished the job. I am not satisfied. The sound is louder than the GGUW but lower than the Koss UR30. I start all over again !!!
I believe that the best solution will be to waterproofed the speakers of the Koss in a PELTOR.
Unless someone has another solution?

FYI, there is a limiter in the GGUW that can be removed which makes them louder..

I tried this solution by removing the coil limiter on the GGUW. It does not work with the CTX, there is no sound coming out of piezos. I think this solution is good but only for the Excal
