For fifteen plus years the T2's physicals design, shared with the Fisher F-75 platform, has give consumers a very nicely design package with exceptional balance, feel and control, with a properly-located battery compartment and headphone jack, that is comfortable to use, w/o an arm cup strap, nd capable of fitting a fall and winter hunter wearing a sweater, jacket or coat.

The T2 series has been one of my all-time favorite detector packages, mainly due to the physical design and simplicity of controls. Performance of the T2 + is still very close to what I want and need, so just do a bit of 'updating' to the design to provide more 'modern' design adjustments. Things like Iron Audio Volume control. Don't make it complex, just make it better. Improve the handling of recovery on rejected ferrous targets for improved separation in dense Iron nail contaminated conditions. And how about making one or two useful-sized concentric coils for the T2 series.

It's obvious to many that FTP has been falling behind the competition, and we're tired of changing decals, names or badges. Just take a great physical platform, enhance what you have that has been proven afield in years past, and give consumers what we want and need. Oh, and keep the T2 'green' color or select something different and creative. Forget the all-black concept.

Just my thoughts from over 56 years of enjoying this greet sport, and enjoying the good times I have had with the many T2's I've owned. I just need something newer and better, and I'm not alone. And if nobody at FTP follows the more active Forums, then they have another problem.
