[QUOTE="AuMan, post: 190703, member: 2670"] G'day guys, Why not use the propper 3 pin connectors Minelab use on the gpx? Sure for your own purposes, as you are handy with a soldering iron the headphone type sockets will be sufficient, but what if you sell your detector to someone who has no soldering skills whatsoever? At least if the correct 3 pin plug is used, they can just go to a detector shop and buy a new handle if the old one breaks.. Wires go to pins 2(gnd or 5+) and 3(GB control wire). I don't remember which wires are what, but on the gb tracking switch, there will be one wire that goes to other switches as well. Connect this wire to pin 2 and on your cable side connect the cable shield to pin 2. You can probably also get these from RS components which have a lower min order $$. Not exactly on the cheap side, but they are quality ;) [url]http://au.element14.com/binder/09-9748-70-03/circular-receptacle-3-way-cable/dp/1122804?ost=1122804[/url] [url]http://au.element14.com/binder/09-9749-30-03/circular-connector-plug-3-way/dp/1122806?MER=MER-L52-L5IB-PD-ACC-CNN[/url] [/QUOTE]
