Update on Headphones and 1270

[shooter]

Ok just got my Sun-Ray Pro Gold headphones and they work great with the 1270, the tone is superb, all function of the phones work, limiter, vol adj stereo/mono all work. John Smith the repairman for Sun-Ray found the coil wire had a broken wire and replaced the cord. Sun_ray's a great turn-around time was 9 days total and the Pro Gold's electronic are warrantied for life, there service and phone quality are TOP OF THE LINE Thanks again Sun-Ray. And a big thanks to WV62 and MarkCZ for their help and good info on a working Pro Gold and the 1270.

You gott'a love happy endings!
Shooter, you may have already found this out, but! the best way I found to run those headphones is to max the volume out on the detector and let the built in limiter do the rest.

Now there is a trade off in doing this and its a little worse on some detectors than others. That is with a detector that has a lot of headphone output and has modulated audio you will lose a lot of the modulated effect because the limiter is already cutting off so much of the upper volume level that the modulated effect has to drop a lot to fall in below the limiter cut off point. Hope that makes sense?

They work great on the 1270 ,but now they don't work in my F75, played with the switches and that's a NO-GO. the only way they work is if you pull the jack half way out , and then she cut in and out with the speaker.Getting tired of this stuff.Now I'm going to have to send them back.More shipping and that's bough ways.

 

[WV62]

Unbelievable, so how much shipping are you going to have in those headphones?

Hi,
Maybe they are wired, so they only work on certain models.
Somewhere on this forum there was a graph/diagram showing headphone wiring.
I think >old beechnut< posted it, but I may be mistaken.
But he would definitely know more about the subject than I do.
Maybe just send him a pm, explaining your problem.

16.00 so $8.00 one way and you have to pay BOTH ways even for warranty work. So I guess it'S going to be another 16.00 bucks.

How do I find him on here, I tried to PM him and it says no such person. Is there a way to search for a member?

Note: Headphone jacks are sold in open-circuit and closed-circuit versions. The open-circuit jack is general purpose and has 3 pins for the left and right channels and ground. The closed-circuit jack has extra connections for an external circuit, such as a speaker which is disconnected when a plug is inserted.
