rob190364 2,594 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 What's the difference between the deben mk1 and the mk3? I used to have a mk3 and I'm looking for one now for next season, is the mk1 any good? Quote Link to post

I was just wondering if the mk1 was any good as there are a lot on ebay, sounds like it's worth paying the extra to get another mk3 though. Quote Link to post
burny2011 12 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 if you can get the mk3m they are alway right and when you have got to grips with it you will never look back at the mk1 and the mk2. mk3m collar is a tad big .they are ebay but why ? because they are no good any more they have had there day in the fields time to move on to newer and better stuff .the mk3m is the dogsbol****ks but dont like it in orange thats just me Quote Link to post
2bob 9 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 there's nothing wrong with the mk1 ferret finder it's what you prefer.. an why the mk1 is selling on ebay is it's the end of the season. Quote Link to post

ryhope toma 42 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 best thing about mk1 you can use them on mk3 collars but not the other way round , i have had one for 8 years and nothing went wrong . their a man by the name of mike dadd he goes to all game fairs he remends them and makes new collars for mk 1 alb . toma Quote Link to post
rob190364 2,594 Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thanks for the replies lads...but no one's actually answered the first question. What's the difference between the two? Is it just that the MK1 doesn't have the pinpoint feature that the mk1 has? Quote Link to post
The one 8,503 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 The mk1 picks up more interferance from metal ,fences ,pylons ect that the mk3 doesn't . But the mk1s are holding there own you can still get them fixed but spares will run out sometime Quote Link to post
