Well... kinda. This jack Is open, should there be a plug in there? It came without anything in it.

I assume it's not waterproof like this?

That is a headphone jack for not waterproof headphones 1/4 jack.

If you buy waterproof headphones, you unscrew the screw and remove the adapter, then plug in your waterproof headphones.

I assume this isn't "rainproof" with that 1/4" jack like it is. ?

If you only use your wireless module, you can remove this 1/4" headphone module, and use the plug that's in the back of it to seal the actual waterproof connector underneath.

Note that unless you're using waterproof headphones or earpieces, nothing you do is truly "rainproof"....on any detector.
I guess it depends on the rain, lol.

Thank you!

I hate that big bulky wireless setup! The wireless unit alone weighs as much as my Deus2

It's enough carrying the CTX itself, let alone the additional wireless headphone receiver and headphones !

Just to keep dirt and moisture out, I used a rubber stop (I don't remember for sure, but for glove box or ash tray maybe) found in an automotive store.

Go to a hardware store where all the nuts and bolts are, there should be bins of rubber stoppers in various sizes. Find one that fits snug but easy to remove with fingertips.

$2,600 unit? And they can't even include a plug? Bahahhahaha

No---it would be too much trouble for them to include a plug!-----Doesn't sound like the CTX is for you.

I hope you didn’t pay $2600.00 you can get them a lot cheaper than that. New in the box.
