Ok my unit work... he miss with battery packs polarity... sorry... 
no words to say. But Recon was factory new. Never used. One time checked. So I think it should be faulty switch. Any problem with your ATX?

Check to see if the coil on yours is plugged in ..

Yes I was check it coil plug too. Without sucess.
Garrett phoned today and says they have replaced the coil and lead but have kept the existing shafts, so nearly new is good enough for me. Looking forward to giving it a swing now and digging up some more junk for my collection ;-)

Just thought I'd flick you a note on my outing today. I was interested in detecting outside the East Moonta Wesleyan church. Most of you wont know where that is and that's ok, but it was built and operated in 1869 so I thought someone might have dropped a coin just outside the front door. The reason for the message is not to tell you of the ancient coin I found because I didn't find one but about the way the ATX performed. Outside the church was a bank of 4 HT wires on a flat bar + 3 HT wires in the triangular configuration. That's 7 HT wires. So I did the scan on the ground right under the wires, dropped the sensitivity to 8, and away I went detecting the area. I have to say I am amazed at the way the ATX works in built-up areas with so much EMI. Anyway just thought I'd share it with you.

Yeh it makes detecting in a really built-up area a cinch.

Good on ya Marshy. I've had a hassle too with my headphones and Garrett just replaced them. They really are ok. Breakages and stuffups happen - its a fact of life. Good operators replace the stuff with out hassles. And Garrett does seems to be just that.
Yea mate, it came in the post yesterday, brand spanking new coil with the existing shafts, more than I could of asked for, I'm well chuffed

No registered Garrett dealer will post to Australia (at least the ones that are worried about losing their dealership), you will have to use a postal service provider or get someone to buy it for you in the US. Plus don't forget import duties and taxes on items over $1000, plus postage, and fee for the postal service can all add up to a bit.
Even if you do manage to find someone to slip an ATX out the "backdoor", the Australian distrubutor will not deal with any warranty issues if a non oz delivered detector. In that case you would have to foot the bill to have it shipped back to the US, or just pay for any repairs here in oz.
It is the same deal now for most US manufactured detectors.
