Minelab CTX 3030 - Tracking 'Out for Delivery'

Yep, my Killer B Wasp headphones won't work properly when plugged directly into the unit, but work perfectly when plugged into the remote. I wonder if Minelab designed it that way on purpose?

Does the wasp have the selector switch? My hornets work fine either way.

Yes. I get audio through them but they don't stop the audio coming from the detector speaker. In other words, I'm getting audio from both.

Here is a diagram of why certain headphones won't turn off external speaker.

Some dealers list the CTX compatible headphones phones as exactly that.

Thanks for the info!!!! My Killer B Wasp headphones have worked on everything that I've owned that has a 1/4 inch plug. Now that really pisses me off big time that they won't work on a CTX. They even worked on a my Minelab 305 and 505. They even work on the CTX wireless audio module. Now that's some great engineering to have both the module and the plug on the CTX different. Go figure!

Now I need an adapter to work for my Deus backphones and my Wasp headphones. Where the Hell do you get them? I always like to have a back up in case the module gets lost, left behind or runs out of juice. lol

I'll be hanging around the house today. I may need to take something for my nerves when I start trying to get all the settings and features figured out.
