Suggestions for Garrett's AT Pro
While playing with the AT Pro I was thinking of how I would improve on it and came up with changes Garrett could make with this detector.
Granted fastening the coil cable and headphone plug could drive a person to use a different detector. These aren't designed by an engineer with big fingers or maybe plastic has gone up in price. It is extremely easy to get either of these plugs cross threaded because of the poor fit. Granted most hunters would only need to fasten them once, but what about using other coils.
I was wondering today why they placed the Headphone jack on the right side and front of the detector when most of us are right handed and this puts more strain on the cable. I used a snap tie to secure the cable to the handle to stop flexing.
Another suggestion I would make is to come out with an adapter so we can use premium headphones like the Grey Ghost underwater phones or land based Black Widow's.
What other suggestions do you have for Garrett to improve this AT PRO? I already thought of the cold beer spigot.
