Mk3 Locator Problems...

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

My mk3 locator is inaccurate by half.

 

For example if I'm 6 foot away from the collar it says 12 foot. If I'm 2 foot away then it says 4 foot.

 

Wether on search or locate it's the same.

 

Replaced batteries in collar and in locator.

 

Any ideas? Can they be re-calibrated?

 

Also how much are these fetching now? I'm thinking about selling it and buying the mk1 knocker box. I never have liked this mk3.

I wouldn't sell it faulty. Hence this thread

 

And I think the mk3 is a bag of shit. Sounds like a f***ing party with different noises and flashing lights.

 

We were using a Mk1 yesterday and had 3 digs. Broke through to were the bunny was every time.

Yes mate it was fine before yesterday.

Ahhh! Its just that I've found that you have to hold the MK3 bang on vertical on locate to get it to work properly, and bang on horizontal on seek, but if yours has just gone tits up, this wont help you.

this might be daft but the difference between the 8ft and 15ft mk1`s was the 15ft transmitter had 2 batteries (twice the power. twice the range) does the mk3 collar have 2 batteries and are both working?

I did replace both the batteries in the collar but I guess there is a chance one is dead. And it was working fine last season. 100% accurate.

 

I will get new batteries for the collar. Thanks.
