Theres no such thing as a deben service , if its your wheel broken they may replace if not its a new board simple as that .

Hi Frank,

Bought the mk3 two weeks ago, I've had a play with it in the house and at the moment i prefer the mk1 but as i havnt used it inthe field yet i'll wait and see how it shapes up.

Cheers lads.

Testing them in the house isn't fair game lads, you'll get a lot of interference from electrical app's.

The Poll is looking very close, its nearly a draw.

I think, by the looks of the feed back im getting, Deben should of stuck with the Mark I, prehaps?

I bought a MK II and hated it until I got the hang of it, but it's grand now. Anything electrical or mechanical hates me anyway and never works for me.

 

I don't like the collars, they seem to be harder to get tight on the ferret. Mine came off the ferret last year under a dirty great tree and it took me half a day to dig the bloody collar out in the the freezing rain.

 

Now I know how to work it properly and keep the collar on tightly, it's fine.

[Guest Frank]

Thanks pointer, for your experience.

Frank.

The new pin point knob on the mark 3 finder effectively allows you to turn the volume down \ off.

 

The reason Deben discontinued the mark 1 is because they cannot get some of the parts any more. So although they claim able to repair them, make your own mind up, how do you repair something when you can't get the part?

 

My personal preference is to use a mark 3 collar. I use a mark 3 finder to get a rough location and then switch to a mark 1 finder to pin point. A mark 1 finder will detect a mark 3 collar at about 11 feet.

 

There is far less interference with mark 3 equipment. To see what I mean try mark 1 stuff near an electric fence or under power lines.

 

To complicate the poll I would vote mark 3 collar and mark 1 finder. If I had to make a choice I would go mark 3.

Cheers all

Im going for the Mk III.

Frank.
