BrianSteven72 369 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 i found them very confusing the first time out with it with all its bells and whistles but after a few times out with it they are so easy a great bit of kit but as been said make sure you put good quality batterys in the locator and collar and you will be fine Quote Link to post

The one 8,479 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Ive got mk1's and a mk3 but i much prefer the mk1's Quote Link to post
Good Man 196 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 They are a good bit of kit, however, i do think they are over priced! Their is no competition you see, Deben are the only ones, so they can charge what they want and know folks will buy it. Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I've had my MK3m for four years, never had a problem with it, not one, when I dig its spot on accurate Quote Link to post

Dazzam 239 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Both the Mk1 and Mk3m are great bits of kit. The Mk1 is easier to use than the MK3 but once you get the hang of the Mk3 its fine. I'm always forgetting to turn the squelch knob back to full after pinpointing my ferrets and then when i go to the next set i think....crap.....can't find the ferrets. A mate of mine bought a MK3M a couple years back and he couldn't understand why he was using so many batteries in the collar for nearly two seasons........idiot didn't realise you had to turn the collars off after each use. 1 Quote Link to post

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yeah , they work, well my 2nd one does, I left the 1st one in a car park. Cant compare with previous models as Ive not used them. Im a bit scared to change the batteries though, as a few lads on here have said they`ve had problems after changing the batteries. Wrong type/dud batteries maybe? Quote Link to post

Wrong type/dud batteries maybe? Bob, as dazzam said make sure you turn the collars off after use, but also don't store the collars right next to the receiver or any other magnet, as it is possible for the collars to be turned on accidently. I keep them in separate pockets in net bag. Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 couldnt be doing with all that do,do,do, noise preffered the click,click,click of the mk1 im not into this new wave, grunge 1 Quote Link to post
derbylad1 293 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I used the mk1 for years and years, then went straight to mk3 4 years ago and never looked back. In all that time i've never had a problem with it, apart from having to give it a good clean. Its extremely accurate and really easy to use, and those that are struggling are missing out on a ggod piece of kit. I'd love to know who they asked to review it when they switched from the mk 2, then onto a new mk 3. Because there are few bit bits that shouldv'e been changed...most points noted by vin. I'd say the locate/search & on/off buttons need to be those sealed rubberised switches, so muck cant get in. I have the original mk3 collars, there problems have now been rectified with the mk3m. They've monopolised the market, so they can charge what they like. So yes i'd highly recommend, but try and find someone who bought one, struggles with it, dont use it and now wants to sell theirs...........ey freelance.....lol Quote Link to post
lurcherlad_2010 35 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 So it's worth buying then lol What's the difference with the mk3 n m3m Quote Link to post
saluki bulls 118 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Mk3m is a better Designed collar all together imo all the M stands for at the end of mk3 is magnet. Quote Link to post
