Garrett will be working on that right away. Something way wrong going on.

Re: Garrett Vortex VX9 latest software may have some major flaws.
I contacted Garrett via telephone.
And got email address and emailed the video of the video I did.
Looks like according to John Edmonton over at findmall forum. He says Garrett is aware and working on it.
I also did another video.
Suggesting Garrett to leave at least one alternative earlier software version release on their site for folks to have access to just in case a newer version turns out to have glitch or whatever.
Seems Vortex currently can’t be updated to earlier versions due to this operational stance by Garrett. Big mistake. Minelab nor Xp do this.

PS
Sounds like I should be working for Garrett huh! Hmm.
Turned 63 day before yesterday and loving it being retired.

My suspicions based on limited evidence seems were correct.
