minelab elite =increase power output

[lucky-luc]

hi!!! i have a question here about increasing the power output of my elite ,,,is it possible to increase the output power of the detector with the adjustment inside the detector ????
it seem there is a diffenence between detector power output that are adjust for europe then those from usa,,,i mean if i buy a detector that come from t europe the power output will be more powerfull then the one i would buy from the usa witch have a thougher regulation on
output power,,,,,,,,

thanks for any help on this matter ,,,

I remember reading something about this a while back. Some felt that changing the crystal they use in Europe would increase the output power of their Sovereigns, but after they changed them they found they didn't do as good as they did before over here in the USA and had more interference. I think why they had a different crystal in Europe was they run a 50 cycle Electric power supplies while we use a 60 cycle is why they have to use a different crystal then what we use.
Maybe you are thinking on something different, but this was the talk a couple of years ago that some thought they would get better depth, but got less and more interference when the crystal was changed.

if you change the cristal, alias the clock, you obtain a different puls-rate but the TX power is the same beacuse the TX time is clock-dependent and is resized conform to the clock.

This is a link with a real power-booster, made from me, that demostrate on field the absence of benefits in this detector.

The goal, IMH, is the linear regulator, i'm still using one and don't go back to original battery pack.

i've tested on field, and found some difference on my sover:

1) better stability on max sensivity

2) non need to retune the treshold when the "vol" control is growing from min to max

3) more confortable usage, the right-signals are clear and "softly"

4) the deep search is the same, don't change from 12.5 to 14.5!

5) when you change from 12.5V to 14.5 the threshold level decrease about 10-15% and you must retune the level (this confirm the absence of regulator on main-power rail for the H-Bridge!)

Here is a some type of power amplifier that goes between the coil and the control box, not the earphone jack like some others I have seen ..It looks very interesting.......go to http://www.deeptech-bg.com/index.html click on products&accessories on left side then go to the lower right side of your screen and click on amplifiers..hope this helps
