Ultra Coil

[Wild Willy]

Is there a small coil available that can be used with the newer Simplex series such as the Ultra? The freqs. are a little different. Different enough to cause problems? Thanks guys and dolls.

9.5 x 6" coil SX 24. Not available in the states yet except on the new Simplex Lite detector. Guessing a couple of months. it should be made available .

Thanks "Just Coils". Since all the new Simplex's use an op. freq. of 15khz I wonder why the Lite coil would not work on the Ultra? Your thoughts are appreciated.

The coil on the lite is compatible with the Ultra. They just aren't selling the coils separately yet. That's why I got an Ultra and then purchased a lite as a backup and to get the smaller coil. I was able to get a deal and paid 169.00 for the lite. I did the math and if the coil cost 109.00 separately like the first generation Simplex SP24 and I purchased a Xtra lower shaft I'm not spending a whole heck of a lot more to get another complete detector.

If I remember correctly.
The first Simplexs had to be updated to use other coils. Or risk damaging the machine.
Hopefully they function properly on all your machines.

When I receive the Lite I will test the small coil on it and post my findings. Should have it Thursday or Friday

Thought about doing that but I really don't want another detector at this point. Good idea though.

As stated the SX 24 is not yet available. Unfortunately, Nokta and Minelab are both slow in delivering accessory coils for their new detectors… It’s still not easy to find an LG 24 coil for the Legend almost 2 years after release.

Dangit Treasurechic, what a wonderful idea. My feeble ole mind never thought of it the way you did. Please let us know how it works out. If it does, I'll order a Lite. Jes gotta luv wemmen!! Always thinking. My beloved wife was a "thinker". A real problem solver. Even though I have a couple of degrees she was the "common sense" gal.

 

[Wild Willy]

Chic, have you received your Lite? If so, can you tell me where you bought it?

 

[Wild Willy]

Chic, I forgot to ask if the Lite coil works on the Ultra? Wow! Instant memory loss. Thank you.

Looks like your deal is even better now. Seen the Simplex SX 24 coil quoted at $119.00 at some dealers. Still not widely available, but soon.

That's exactly what my buddy did.

Just ordered the Simplex SX 24 coil from Bigboyhobbies. Be here early next week. $118.99 USD flat. Looks like a lot of dealers are selling them now, but Bigboys does it right.

The Simplex Lite, BT, and Ultra use the same coils, the SX Series for "Simplex New Generation". SX24, SX28, SX35
