Garrett Sport Division Update on Garrett Vortex Shipping: July 24, 2024

From the beginning, the Vortex detector series was designed to include a graphic LCD that would allow feature set improvements and updates after it was launched. At least a couple of the user controls originally intended to be part of a fall update have now been shifted into the initial product release.

Hearing that they were desired by our customers, we are rolling them in now—instead of asking our customers to make a free software update later. In addition to high-resolution iron discrimination, our engineers are now implementing additional iron boundary controls and the option to control the number of target tones on some Vortex models.

The result is a high-quality detector with even more user-controlled options, and the ability for Garrett to potentially further refine these setting controls with future Vortex updates. Making these updates will add a few weeks to the initial production schedule. We recognize the concern this will cause some Garrett customers, but your input into product features has been important to us with the Vortex series. We trust that you will be more pleased with the end product.
