if your getting a wide area withe the same number, turn the locator 90 degrees to the left or right and try again, this will often make it more sensitive to the strongest signal.

the ortovox collar is better than the b+f for pinpointing as it's more sensitive, but with that the numbers are more jumpy to any movement at all

has anybody else found the bellman a bit hard to get an exact reading, everytime i dig the breakthrough is hard to find if you no what i mean,with the deben it was always exact, when it was working that is, maybe im not using it right but i would have thought after 3 seasons i would have it cracked, or are they just not as precise?

I also have been finding it difficult to sus out the new b&f,glad im not the only one :icon_redface:

when you turn it on (into the send mode) hold the left button in, that'll take you into the set up menu, then use the the left button to go up and down and the right button to select.

We lost a good dog last year it caved in and i dug down straight beside him, but could not pinpoint him in time with the B and F.Old grey box would have saved him.Haveing said that it is still a good system.

 

 

Ive also broke through on to the side of the terrier on BANK'S when i first got the B.F,

Another time when i first got the B.F we dug down to what ever depth it was but we never found the tube :wallbash: so after a little f*****g about with the T BAR still couldnt find FFUCK ALL, after slagging the FFUCK OUT THE B.F i asked one of the lad's to pass me my terrier and said to everyone to shut the FFUCK UP! as i put the dog in the hole and waited after a couple of minutes the terrier started diggin like f**k out of the side of the dig LOL I pushed the tea bar through the wall/side of dig where the dog marked and there she was BAYING HER HEAD OFF HAHAHAH

 

Just got to get use to it

All the best people

Nearly happened to us today but luckaly we got the dog in time. It is worse on steep banks the number of times we have missed the dog is stupid but as has been said it beats the old grey box.

Like Butler has said we had a lucky escape today with the b*****d box reading down when the tube was in the side of the dig, we lost my black dog last season due to the shit pinpoint accuaracy, we broke through and could hear the dog further up the tube but when we got a reading it was saying 0.7 everywhere in the bottom of the dig, by the time we found the dog he had wedged himself in and suffocated himself and his quarry...no.gif
