INVADER DX-1 FOR WHITES DFX, & MXT The SunRay DX-1 is an in-line target probe similar to the X-1, but is designed and manufactured for the Whites DFX and MXT. The unit comes with a switch box, and 1" x 9" probe on a straight 30" custom cable. The switch box clips to the detector shaft (clip included), and the probe also clips to the shaft with two included shaft mount clips. Detection depth on a coin sized target is up to 3".

Default Not happy with the DX-1

I finally went out and bought a Invader DX-1 for my DFX. I know many of you really like this probe, but it isn't for me. I find it easier to use my pinpointer. The DX-1 is larger so I have to dig a bigger hole and I'm used to feeling my pinpointer vibrate when I locate the target, so the DX-1 was a bit awkward for me to say the least. Add the switching back and forth from coil to probe and listening for the probe to find the target just wasn't mhat I am used to. I ended up removing it and using the old standby. So now it looks as if I have a new DX-1 I'll be selling. Just wanted to post my thoughts on it.

I love my DX~1. Set the DC sens to 40 - 50 and you are good to go. I do agree with you that it takes time to get used to switching the toggle back and fourth from coil to pinpionter.

Good luck on your sale. Someone will snatch it up. The DX-1 is a good unit.
