#1 Will a new SE Pro coil work on a XS explorer.
Yes, the Pro coil works on all of the Explorers and I have tested it on the XS, II, and SE with similar results and performance.
=================
#2 Can you send an XS back for a software update ?
Yes, the detector can be sent in for service if warranted but is there a problem you are trying to get resolved? How old is your XS and do you have the service history on the detector? Call the factory at 702-891-8809 and discuss it with them before sending it in.
=================
# 3 if the new coil will work on the XS would it be better? other then being lighter
Yes, you will see a noticeable difference in performance - audio signals are crisper, detection depth improved and the weight / balance benefit alone is worth the price of the coil . . . . I added the new coil to three of my five FBS-detectors and would be hard pressed to take it off. I will say that based on feedback I have heard from others using the SEF coils here and overseas, I may be looking at one of those to round out my "collection:.
