9. Manually adjustable ground balance...long press of the ground balance button and adjust with + - buttons. The beaches I hunt are littered with iron/aluminum trash and a clean spot to ground balance is near impossible to come by. I'd like to be able to dial in the value I know works.
10. Improve/upgrade the coil cable to box fittings (for different reasons than palzynski's #8 above) In less than a year the fitting is corroded, the screws and the washer under the nut against the box are rusted. The detector has never been dunked...just salt air exposure and rain. Upgrade to stainless...or at the very least, sleeve/shrink tube the fitting to protect it...and change out that washer at the box.
11. Lastly, better penetration/depth in volcanic black sand. My Apex struggles for depth compared to my other detectors...and I'm not trying to go deep. In some areas, especially in the dry, I may only get surface to a couple of inches. In the same areas, I can get at least 6 inches with the others. Maybe this could be addressed with a firmware update after some volcanic black sand testing by Garrett?
Wow, the connector looks like something your find on a secondhand detector of years past. I though garrett took pride in their product.
