timc20xe 73 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Whats better the older pieps box or the new red one ? Thanks Quote Link to post
busterbuster1969 313 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I prefere the older box myself as it has the multiple location feature that the new box doesn't have.. And before all the keyboard hunters start I don't use more than one dog to ground. 3 Quote Link to post

timc20xe 73 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Ive used the pieps before but never used the new one , i see on bnf both locators are the same price that just made me wonder what one is better, Do you always land right on the dog with the new box?

aaron01 737 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I like the older box because it lets you know your direct over the dog with bleeps where as the red box is silent 1 Quote Link to post
timc20xe 73 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Is there any videos online showing the new one working ? Quote Link to post
lucky 578 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 i prefer the pieps box, the new one is like a building brick and its silent so you would'nt know if the dog has moved without looking at the screen... Quote Link to post
timc20xe 73 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 They are out of stock of the peips so ive just orderd the new red one 1 Quote Link to post
sammy/c 3 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 had the red for a good bit now, always spot on 1 Quote Link to post
Llion Edward Evans 15 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 The red one is a tad more accurate but the lack of bleeping is hard to get used to Quote Link to post
Donaldduck 6 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've had one since they have been out no problem if the battery's go you just change them the new one if that happens your f--ked and I know some one that happened to Quote Link to post
Marmite 19 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've used the red brick a couple of times and it is spot on and thank f'k they've got rid of the sound as it's the most annoying part of the pieps & its got on my nerves for 8 years and will continue to do so because the brick aint mine 1 Quote Link to post
cumbye 36 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 haveing used both the new one is a lot more accurate,and i too love the silence,the sound on the old box was handy for just one thing,to be able to hear when your digging ,if your dog moves.The down side you can hear the thing for a hell of a long way on a windless day,an could easily attract the unwanted.Lets face it we all got a pair of eyes,doesn't take a lot to glance at your box now and then..Best box i had was the barryvox,a lot slimmer than the new bellman,that made even worse noise,but could be silenced with a cut off earphone jack plug..But if you had an accident,would know way take the stick the new bellman would... So as long as you have't got girly hands,i would stay with the new wellmade bellman,its tough,with a long warrenty with it.. Quote Link to post
