Cuerno said:Don't buy it if it's the S model... the S and XS can out in late 1999 and this was the comparison:
The “S” has no Learn mode---N/A
The “S” has no Edit mode---N/A
The “S” has no Save Box modeN/A
The “S” has no 12 volt car charge-----------------------------------can be bought later $40.00 in 2000
The “S” has no NiMh Battery and 110 home charger--------can be bought later $65.00 in 2000
The “S” has no Backlight---N/A I use the Backlight when I night hunt and to set up programs indoors
The “S” has no Coil Stand-----------------------------------------------can be bought later $8.00 in 2000
The “S” has no Auto Noise Cancel---N/A This cancels near by detectors and radio interference
The Explorer XS was purchase new for $940.00 in 2000
if I was buying one I would get the II because, color, dual digital readout, fiber lower rod, 1/8 jack
There's nothing in the list that makes a difference for how I use my explorer, so an S model would make no difference.
Would I go shopping for an S, of course not, but would I buy one if the price was right... for sure! (as long as Minelab will confirm it can be serviced)
