Maybe just something Fisher throws in to please their fans.
Something about the pleasant click and the tactile feel of pushing that thing down, even if it does nothing.
The closest I come on my F70 is when I turn the power knob off or on...I like knobs, probably should have gotten an F5 instead of my F70.
As most past posts surmised Fisher probaly has a ton of these in stock so they use them.
That switch choice was, I assume, made for something they designed to do on some model and maybe did use somewhere, or decided not to take advantage of it or it could be used for some feature in the future...somewhere.
It would be nice if a ray gun sound came out of the speaker so you could push it and zap unwanted trash.
I had something similar mounted on my dashboard years ago to blast idiot drivers when they did dumb things while driving in front of me.
Didn't actually do a thing but it was supremely satisfying to pretend I was wiping out stupid people

Coin pirate, I may be missing something on your question about the ground balance knob but the purpose of that knob is so you can " manually" ground balance your machine instead of auto ground balance with the phase lock procedure. Not sure what you mean about detent.

Detent...the ground balance knob has the ability push like an additional function, it has a built in momentary switch you push in.
If I ever get brave enough to take mine apart someday, I may see if I can utilize that function of the switch to solder in a couple wires either to try and create my own back-light, or LED headlight

On my F75 that detent gives me quick access to the last menu setting I was in and another push on it once I have made any changes puts it back in detect mode. I can keep the detector set up to do a quick change on what process I am using or more common if I am hunting in a varying high to low emi area I can change the sensitivity in literally seconds and not skip a beat.WV62 said:
