At this time, the Garrett Vortex detector is wrapping up its final testing and our engineers are implementing some minor updates. The Garrett Team will also have Vortex units on display at several large UK rallies in the next two weeks where customers can test drive the VX9.While some of the latest Vortex improvements are not immediately apparent, some will be noticed by customers, such as:
Bottlecap Reject feature: this Multi-Frequency iron control setting, used to help eliminate iron bottlecaps and objects of similar composition, is available on the VX9 model with multiple setting choices.
Number of Tones: The 3-tone option on VX5 can now be selected for use on either VX7 or VX9, adding further user flexibility.
Regarding the latest on release time, the Vortex detector is now in the early stages of production, and is expected to begin shipping to distributors in late September.• •
