Vortex V9 is going to be here Jan 09

[Rick(ND)]

Ordered it back in September and got notice it was going to be here the 9th of January and it is 8 below Zero here in the Dakota. It going to be a while before I get out to use it. Will have time to read the manual and and read of others that will get there and hope to to read about those that can get out and get some good tips.
Going to be looking for some wireless headphones that will have very good volume for my bad hearing as the Vortex dont come with any headphones. I see some are selling the Garrett wireless headphone and the the orange pin pointer that are wireless so the sound will come through the headphones, so that is something I got to look into more and those that have them would be nice to let us know how they work.

I am going to need a new body as I am not ready to give up yet if I plan on detecting more.

Well unfortunately Rick I canceled my pre order for the VX9, I could have already had one if I would not have canceled my order

I just could not follow through with my order simply because I feel the Vortex has to many unresolved issues, after speaking to a friend that has been using the Vortex, I felt it was best for me to wait until Garrett gets the issues worked out on the Vortex before getting one, do I still want a Vortex (Yes) as long as Garrett resolves the issues that the Vortex currently has

I feel the Vortex has great potential but rite now it cannot even compete with the Mine Lab Elite or the Nokta Triple Score

Do I feel Garrett will eventually resolve the Issues I do, just not all of them

Tell me about it brother, I put in for a new body for Christmas, but got a new detector instead.

That did cross my mind and sure hope it was like the Troy X5 & X3 Shadow when he seen some problem and corrected the problems before they were released. Maybe Garrett did the same, I hope anyway. I am sure we will find out soon when people will get out to try them..

I'm pretty confident you'll be ok with the new detector. Looking forward to a good report from you. I'm really looking to see how dunkable the unit is going to be. I'm still a bit chicken to submerge the nox 600 even tho its a later run unit.
