DanGeorge,that red light(LED) you have was added by Kellyco. I also have the same thing on a Freedom 1 CDC and it was bought from Kellyco. I think it's wired along with the audio. From what I've heard is that the crossfire equipped Freedoms were a little deeper and operated at a little higher frequency than 5.5 khz. I'm thinking around 6 khz. The only bad thing I can think of is that the early crossfire coils used thin mounting ears and moulded connectors. In time both of these could be a negative issue. I should know as I have an original GMH that was made in 1988 and it had the same style crossfire coil. I've since got a newer crossfire coil with thick black coil cord and thicker ears. This was the last style made before the Crossfire II series. The Freedom series are good 'beep and dig' detectors.
