I just want the plug. I have a whites GMT coil (real one) and was going to see if it would work on the AT pro. anyone know if this would work?

I doubt the coil would work very well as they are different frequencies (Whites GMT 48khz?), at minimum make an adapter but don't cut the cord. The ATG runs at 18khz and the ATP at 15khz so that's a pretty small difference percentage wise. Would be an interesting experiment but quietly confident it wouldn't work so flash but hey I'm happy to be proven wrong! You loose a little depth going from the 5x8 to the sniper but you can get in to tighter spaces so it's a trade off. 5x8 is brilliant for hunting around playground equipment so I think most people would be reluctant to let them go. Good luck on your search, is a good seller on ebay that I used to use but you will need a freight forwarder now. If you want there details PM me.
