jamie mc 168 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Maybe it needs recalibrated. Quote Link to post
Bryan 1,362 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 What you're seeing if how your dogs works. The number can't be still until the dog is totally still, otherwise it wouldn't be accurate. stick it back on meters and it'll appear more stable because the numbers you quoted would only vary from 6 to 2 meters instead of 20 to 6 feet. Things aren't simple underground, there is back and forth, you're just seeing it on the box now. B 1 Quote Link to post
WEDGEY 753 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 i think sorry i know the pieps box is times better than the red box,,, the red box is heavy no sound so what it reads in feet its shit and not worth the money Quote Link to post
s.e.s.k.u 1,893 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 A friend has the new box and had no problems uses it in metres just bought one myself . Only need a reading when the dog settles anyway so can't see your issue really ? Iv not used one in feet though take bryans advice and switch to metres. Quote Link to post
Moorman 1 1,372 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Its a very good piece of kit and the only box designed for the job,its also the only box thats guarantee stands when used for terrierwork. Quote Link to post

brog 670 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 it would be nice if you could turn the beeping on and off Quote Link to post
kevin em 342 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I could never hear the beep on the pieps any way I find the new box a great piece of kit as bryan said the metres seem the best I used mine a lot over the last two seasons and cant fault it one little bit Quote Link to post

UcanRUNbutUcantHIDE 190 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Prefer the pieps but use the new one more cause its easier to clean and harder to break, my pieps mysteriously broke one day in the field so I always carry 2. I'm goin for a Barryvox I think see how that goes Quote Link to post
