Deben Locater

[hunting mad 147]

bit of advice needed, looking to buy a locater been looking at the Deben going to be using it for the terriers and now and then on ferrets. I'm a bit stuck on which model to get the 16ft or 40ft is there a difference who's using them and how u get on with them?

Thanks

The 40ft one isnt bad gets the job done with the terriers

you wont fit a 40ft one on a ferret bud

Last time I used a locator it was deben the only one on the market at the time it was the late nineties ferret finder went to 6' and terrier locator went to 15' still got my old gray box and two collars haven't got a clue if the box still works but then again 40' box appeals to me as you would locate the terrier a lot quicker got a wee while to think about the right locator that suits me.

I have the 16ft foot deben mrk 3 and terrier collar I have never had any problems with it at all and the receiver on the collar is very small and neat making it great for rock piles and they actually go to 22 feet not 16 like it states hope it helps atb jh

Answer to your question is ,yes the ferret collar will work with 40ft locator but only at about 16ft give or take but still pinpoints bang on

Got a 16 ft collar works great once you get used to it it's never let us down

thanks for the reply's all, think I'll pick 1up this week terriers a bit young yet but will come in handy

with the ferrets

The 40' terrier locator is way to big to put on a ferret, its three times bigger than the ferret locator about as big as the ferrets head.

ye I realise that mate just did'nt know if the 40ft box would work with the 16ft collar

Crap mate, i nearly lost a terrier when the orange ones came out, deben said its only a guide line, 5.5 foot out isnt a guideline, good job I knew how to find a dog through very dense and soundproof gound.

f**k deben, even the lamps are at fault, and the austrlians are cornering the market with their good pieces of kit.

Bellman, orto, barryvox etc all all decent, saying goes you cant put a price on a good terrier, 200 for a dben long range, or 200 and odd for a bellman second hand, I know who I would be going with.

Get ya hands out pockets and buy your dogs the best you can afford, or go back to a working knocker box.
