XP Aerial Antenna with 250cm Cable for Deus II Underwater Use

The XP Aerial Antenna for the Deus II requires the XP BH01 bone conductor headphones for underwater operation. Standard wireless headphones lose signal when submerged, but bone conductor headphones transmit sound through your skull rather than air, maintaining audio clarity even when your head is fully underwater. The antenna routes the wireless signal from the Deus II remote control through a physical cable to the bone conductor headphones, bypassing the water attenuation problem that blocks standard wireless transmission.

The XP Aerial Antenna maintains wireless signal continuity when the Deus II remote control and coil are fully submerged, so you can hunt in water as deep as your physical comfort and safety allow. The antenna itself is certified for underwater use with the Deus II system. Most detectorists use this setup in chest-deep water for river hunting or surf-zone work, where wave action and current put the detector fully underwater during sweeps. The 250cm cable gives you enough reach to keep the remote control accessible while the coil works the bottom in waist- to chest-deep conditions, providing flexibility for various underwater hunting scenarios.

The XP Aerial Antenna is designed specifically for underwater use with the BH01 bone conductor headphones. The antenna becomes necessary when you need to maintain audio while the detector and your head are underwater, which requires bone conductor headphones that transmit sound through your skull rather than air. The aerial antenna routes the signal from the Deus II remote control through a physical cable to the bone conductor headphones, solving the water attenuation problem that blocks wireless transmission when submerged. For underwater hunting scenarios where full submersion occurs, the antenna and BH01 bone conductor headphones work together as a certified system.

The XP Aerial Antenna is built for underwater signal extension and adds no benefit to land hunting with the Deus II. On land, the standard wireless connection between the Deus II remote control and headphones works without range or signal-quality issues, so the antenna's wave-guide function is unnecessary. The antenna is a specialized accessory for detectorists who hunt in rivers, surf zones, or flooded environments where water blocks the wireless transmission. If you only hunt dry ground or shallow puddles where the detector stays above water, the standard Deus II wireless setup is sufficient.

The XP Aerial Antenna ships with a 250cm cable, which translates to approximately 8.2 feet of reach between the remote control and the antenna connection point. This length covers most shallow-water hunting scenarios, including chest-deep river wading and surf-zone work where you keep the remote control above water while the coil sweeps the bottom. The 250cm cable provides sufficient reach for typical underwater detecting situations where you need to maintain the connection between your components.

The XP Aerial Antenna is designed exclusively for the Deus II and is not compatible with the original XP Deus metal detector. The antenna's wave-guide design and cable connector interface only with the Deus II system. This antenna works only with the Deus II remote control and BH01 bone conductor headphones as a certified underwater detecting system. If you own the Deus II and plan to hunt in submerged conditions where water blocks standard wireless transmission, the aerial antenna provides the necessary signal continuity to maintain audio through the bone conductor headphones while fully underwater.
