ortovox transmitter and bf box

[mynirvana 1]

will they work together as id rather spend £88 than £122 if they both do the same job

[reddawn 2,173]

yes they do, i take it you have got a collar with a pocket tho?? or know you will have to tape the transmitter on to a collar?? an the depth it reads wont be exact mate, as they calibrated diffrently, but it does work, deffo iv used 1

i have been looking into this and i think i am going to get the bellman and flint collar with the pieps freeride reciever .has anyone tried the freeride as it dont seem to be a bad bit of kit and if on a budget is reasonably priced been looking at the other recievers and though they look better there is a great difference in price as long as it does the job its not like i will ever be in a avalanche i have the mark 3 deben and i think its alright but would prefer the set up i just mentioned would like to hear off anyone that as used this set up atb ks

right iv looked for the chart mate, an i cant find it, i think i sent it to a mate when he borrowed me ortovox collar, ill check with him...

 

but

 

im pretty sure, the 1`st meter on the box is actually 2 ft deep an then every metre after is actually 18 inches

 

so

 

1 metre on bellman box is actually 2 ft to collar

2 metre on bellman box is actuallu 3 an a 1/2 foot

3 metre is 5ft an so on, like i say mate thats just down to me asking the wife as she helped me work it out, just get collar an box an a tae measure an test it in garden a you will get the jist of it

 

 

if i get the proper chart back ill deffo get it posted on here or pm'd to ye mate

I've used that set up too and yor not far out with those readings, but I would say 2 meters is more like 5 foot though?!
