[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 596886, member: 4485"] Yes the GPX detectors have a diagnostic line thru the quick track button socket so wouldn't surprise me if the SDC has similar but thru the headphone socket. The F3 Compact (which the SDC is based on) can be hooked up to a programming cable, when using configuration software to customise volume & sensitivity settings, thru the headphone socket. Minelab detectors are also internally voltage regulated. I'm not sure what they use to do this but it would need to be some type of step up voltage regulator or boost converter I would assume i.e. they take a lower unstable/dropping battery supplied voltage & regulate/boost it to a higher, more stable voltage. This will ensure that detector performance remains consistent as the charge state of the batteries begins to reduce. Some will say to keep your batteries fully charged, top up at lunchtime etc. but it's not really necessary as the performance should be consistent right down until the low voltage warning comes on. All topping up does is prolong the time to low voltage warning &/or shutdown. [/QUOTE]
