xs2a pro tone id

[Murphdasurf]

I am thinking go buying a used xs2a pro as a back up to my sov gt or loaner to try and get some friends involved. I have read that the xs2a has a wider range of tone ID than that of the GT. Opinions from those who have used both would be appreciated.

I have both.
I had the tone adjusted up a little on the 2a to a point that I liked it on coins.
I adjusted the GT up to the same freq as the 2a. They are both the same now......both alike between high and low tones.
This was done with a frequency counter to get them matched.

I have read that also and have to agree with Art. I have a couple of Sovs, the XS model and the GT models and the tones are the same to my ears, I dont think they have changed at all.

Only possibility for a difference in a spread in range or the range itself......
David at dixie does something with it. My detectors are stock with no dixie mods.
When I set up the high end to match, the low ends matched also.

So it is not different between detectors unless David did a mod to change the spread or there is a difference between components.

You can slide it up or down with the internal adjustment to suit your taste. would be nice to have access through a small hole so you don't have to take it apart for the tweek.

Hah! They drilled the holes for my meter mounting bracket at about the 11:00 o'clock position on the rod, so I doubt they could muster the precision needed for the hole that you want.

Gets the meter out from behind the hand grip, right?
Just have to learn how to look at it crooked.

Thanks Art, I never thought of it that way.
