    There are basically 4 places you can choose to fit the damping resistor:
    1) On the PCB.
    2) In the coil shell.
    3) In the coil connector.
    4) In the detector enclosure on the inside of the coil socket.

    #1 results in the same damping resistor being used for all coils.
    #2 is a problem if you want to use the coil on different detectors.
    #3 is often tricky because of lack of space.
    #4 means that you could use (for example) a 5-pin connector, with 2 pins used for the coil, and 3 pins connected to different value damping resistors. Then the closest required value can easily be selected by a wire jumper in the coil connector. However, there may still be problems swapping between detectors.

    Other possibilities (already suggested) are:
    1) Add a selector switch to change resistor values.
    2) Use an adapter cable.

    Personally, I put the damping resistor inside the enclosure on the back of the coil connector.
    Yes I would like to have something inside the enclosure on the back of the connector and that was my original question Althought I do like the selector switch thing , What socket do you use for your connector ? and what do I do with R1 Do I place a jumper on it ?

      Is that base mount on your detector 3D printed?
      It is all 3dprinted the face plate Case and mount.

        LOL, NO JUMPER in R1. That could be a DIRECT SHORT. Just leave it open.
