Coil adaptor

MR. BILL, could you make an external device that the loop plugs into with a 'pot' to adjust for frequency, or for impedance, and have this device plug into the detector "loop plug-in"? The Discovery 5.5" loop might be a real killer.
 
Do you realize how much money would be lost by those that make/sell coils? :blink:

Great idea, though it will never be built. :yo:

It could be built....and very cheaply. But changing the frequency with an adapter would not be efficient,(unless powered) *more cost* so you would lose power to the coil-and you would not get the depth of the original. They will never make it because it wouldn't be particle.
 
The fact remains, I have used a 15kHz loop on a 5kHz detector, and there was no loss of depth. Nothing needed to be powered. I guess the best way to change the frequency would be to open the loop and add a resistor-but that is impractical. And you can buy frequency shifters.
