Hi all ive read quite alot of threads regarding best locators and all and heard first hand of the barryvox and ive used the bellman a few times which where great to, right up till the end of this year ive still personally been using the old knocker box as the sets all around here are easy and shallowish. Long story short was looking into buying the orvotox d1 not too expensive and sounds ok does anyone use them???

D1 is a good box ,and fast to locate ,they have been around since 1989 i think ,the d1 is light years ahead of a knocker box with none of the problems

cheers mate i was reading bout them and how they locate to within ten inches of the dog which isnt to bad, do the numbers bounce the same as the bellman on them?? Do they pick up at a decent distance?

There is no digital readout on a d1 ,just a dial that you turn down when the signal gets stronger ,the dial starts at 40m and can be turned down to 1m ,there is just three lights and a tone on them .

thanks mate 1m thats roughly just under 3 ft?? al have a look further into them like i said ive been using the mk1 i still find thast really accurate when you find them and i dont have that big of sets just found it troublesome a few times when the dog went to ground in cover so thought they could make life alittle easier

sorry fella didnt explain properly ,the dial goes down to 1 m ,then you when three light are lit and tone is loudest your on your dog id say about 9 inches away from him , hope that helps .
