Sunray X-1 probe with the CTX???

[skyblast]

I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this question So I'll just ask. Can the Sunray X-1 probe be used with the CTX or is one is the process of being made??

My understanding is, the Sunray X-1 probe will not work with the ctx.

The inline probe and the coils for the Explorer/E-Trac machines are not compatible with the CTX. The CTX coil and machine have a two-way communication with each other, or something of that nature. It's a different technology. (I know because I asked my dealer the same question, and he probably simplified it for me, but basically that was his answer.) Randy can give you more specifics on this subject if needed.

This question has been asked and answered several times. Ralph said no probes and no coils. The FBS2 technology is not compatible and there are no plans at this time to produce aftermarket accessories for the CTX 3030. I hope this helps -Marc

Thanks for the response.

Interesting. Several times? I did a search on the CTX forum for "X-1 probe" and my new topic was the only result. I also searched back several pages and found nothing on the X-1 compatibility.

Try doing a search for Sunray, you will have to pick thru all the posts about coils and headphones, but, the X-1 probe posts are there.

Here are just few of the earlier posts on this same topic when I searched.........

NO, I believe Ralph already addressed this. No probe, no after market coils. A probe will not work with the smart coils.

Stasys,

As I posted yesterday, no aftermarket coils or probes will be made for this detector.

This is the post where Ralph (Sun Ray) actually answered the question - last post.

Sun Ray will not be manufacturing any coils or probe for the new CTX 3030. It is not possible due to the chips, etc. which we will not have access to and the detector design does not lend itself to an in-line probe. We DO NOT recommend that anyone attempt to connect our in-line probe to this detector as (1) it will not work anyway and (2) you will definately VOID YOUR WARRANTY on the detector!
