Recently I sold my XL-1 Probe to a buddy of mine. It was on a older Spectrum XLT and ran perfect. I could pick up targets at 2 and 3 inches no problem.
Good detector and in-line probe, and that's about what I would expect in performance based upon how I have my custom program set up.

Now he has hooked it up to his new E-Series XLT ...
There was the 'original' XLT with Version 1.0 software, and that didn't take to long to upgrade to the Version 1.1, and that continued until they were discontinued about a year ago. I have owned a lot of XLT and am currently using XLT #22 and all of them, both versions, provided almost identical performance using the same settings.

... and seam to be having issues with it not detecting. It has to be real close to the object for it to recieve a signal.
If the SunRay in-line probe hasn't become damaged, then it might be a poor connection, or ....

I believe it is ran on one of the stock program. Can anyone tell me what could cause this?
... maybe it is that you
believe your buddy is only using a stock program, and, if so, that could be part of the cause. Most stock programs are going to have a lower AC Sensitivity and very low (2) Pre-Amp Gain setting. If you used a custom program of your own, or just changed the factory settings when in use, then maybe he needs to duplicate your settings to get your performance?
If he is a
local detecting buddy, hook it back to your XLT or other similar frequency/compatible model, and show him that it is working fine. Then, if necessary, help your buddy with a couple of easy adjustments.
