stealthy1 3,964 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Why are you selling your MK3m Jamie? Quote Link to post
jusar whippets 10 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Cos they are tosh, mine has been a pain since day one. Put it on search, get a load of beeps, then onto locate and it makes a fart noise and goes off. I can only use it on search. Can't wait for someone else to do one of these instead of Deben Quote Link to post

Jamie93 57 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I'm going to get an MK1 instead. Happy Hunting Jamie93 Quote Link to post

Happy Hunting Jamie93 I find My MK3m to be better than the MK1 I had, are you turning the locate knob anti clockwise all the way to the stop when you touch the ground with it when in locate mode, because mine is bang on every time.

Jamie93 57 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 It was the battery in the collar. It has put me off a bit even though it was the battery because I had pretty much persuaded myself to get an MK1 before I sorted the prob and I spose I still want one lol. I've seen one befor and found them to be very good IMO. Happy Hunting Jamie93 Quote Link to post

Happy Hunting Jamie93 If it was the batteries the locator came with, then mine were the same and let me down while the ferrets were under, thats why I buy quality batteries now, you get what you pay for Quote Link to post

robbo 868 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi I have an mk3m and when I locate the ferret it tells me that the ferret is usualy about 5-6ft when it's only 3ft. I rang deben up but I've lost my receipt. Any ideas what I could do? Thanks allways halve whatever depth its telling you use a probe as you dig dont dig as fast in case you chop a fert in half silly question i know but what is a probe good for as i know what they are but never used 1,is it just for finding the depth you can use probe if you think you have missed hole, which happens sometimes just poke about in the sides of the hole youve dug until you feel it go into burrow.never go without one myself.
