steezy 1 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Did someone of you UK guy´s have a new Long Range TerrierFinder ? How is the result when you working with it ? The B&F is too expensive for me so i look for the LRTF or the New Orthovox Bauhundretter ! How deep can you locate with the LRTF and how good is the location ? Is it easy to handle ? we use at the moment the old deben MK1 and the Orthovox with the stubai pieps ! we really dont trust the Pieps and for me to get some MK1 collars in working order is nearly unimpossible ! ...or did someone of you have some for sale ? Thank you in anticipation Steezy Quote Link to post

Guest ash Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I'd say LRTF is actually better (simpler) than B&F and half the price! Quote Link to post

Guest Haggler Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 "a few weeks back one meter deep ended up five and two foot in wrong place " The Bellman and Flint not only doesn't lie, it can't lie. It is only a machine, be it a fine machine at that. Sounds more like operator error more than the locator giving false readings. Never had the B and F give anything but spot on marks and depths.
