Cool .. I have it mounted so stealthily that a long cable and such would come in handy. Thanks!

I hooked up the coupler and wire and ran it out of view; works. Looks like I've owned it for years.

Default Yep you can...
I believe that after you remove the sheathing from the wire, the green and red wires are power and ground...just test em...=P!

Default He's not allowed to remove any wires from the sheathing!
He's borrowing my detector, with the cig lighter adaptor! There will be NO removing of sheathing! :-P He just needs to extend the power line a little further, so he can hide it as he travels through DC and VA.
