deben mk1 or mk3 , i have only used the mk1 and it works for me sure someone will say about the mk3,

[kurtrog70 6]

What do you all think of the MK2 locators?

[longnetter 32]

If I was starting from scratch I'd go for a Mk3 . The price of second hand Mk1's is ridiculous .

 

Can't say much about the Mk2 except I believe it was plagued with problems which is why they updated it so quickly

I have a Mk1 and a Mk3M (magnetic switch).

Since I got the Mk3M I have never used the old one again. The new one is far superior.(imo)

If you go for a Mk1 you will struggle to get repairs or spares and collars are about 2 billion pounds each.

Can't say fairer than that

Both the mkt 1 and the mkt 3 are good where the mkt 3 is solid and waterproof and has a search and locate mode on them it will however only pick up mkt 3 collars,

Where the mrk1 will pick up any collar, it is still a first class bit of kit but as said hard to get repairs done now.

Its the mk1 for me you can get the boxes fixed but no the collars but there's a guy making alternative collars so it might last a few more years till the price of mk3s come down
