hi, ive just got myself a mk3m ferret finder off a friend, the box works fine, it has one coller with it that is suppose to be switched on/off with the magnetic end of the finder, im having trouble turning it on and off has anyone else had problems? is it a common fault? it works ok if i leave it turned on and just remove the battieries which i will be doing! im planning on getting another coller is there a good place to buy these too? thanks kevyn

I know it's an obvious 1 but have you tried new batteries?

I know it says swipe the collar with the box, but have you tried just holding it there a couple of seconds? Sometimes I`ll swiipe it and it turns it on and off, and I`ll have to do it again, sometimes twice.

I prefer to use the key fob magnet too. Someone on here said its a bigger magnet than the one in the handset, and therefore makes a better contact in the collar. I dont know how true this is, but it works for me.

As for a 2nd collar, you can get them pretty much everywhere online, for around the same money, or a cheaper 2nd hand one from ebay.....

thanks for replys,the batterys are brand new today so there fine, ill have a practice with the magnet but up to now it seems the magnetic on/off switch in the coller seems to be faulty, the guy who i got it off only used it a few times but hes oldschool and prefers his mk1 so i got a bargain anyway!!

I just got a MK3 box and collar a couple of days ago for £70 with recorded delivery which cost £6.50. Delighted with it as it's in excellent condition.

 

I made an offer on a MK1 box and 3 collars on ebay and the reply i got was that they wanted £175 ono. I nearly fell off my chair. In a round-about sort of way i told them to shove it.

 

Why do peolpe think that they can shaft people with these things???

Do you have the key fob magnet then? Ive got one I can send you if you dont. Yeah, the switch.... Its not unheard of for the switch to be faulty.

If the other chap isn't having it...would you sell it? I have a MK3 and no magnet.
