No:1 Terrier Locator

[Fast red charlie 2]

Right guys I'm looking for every ones personal views on the locators you use for your little warriors. From barryvox, B&F, ortovox, BCA etc etc. I would like to know why you've chosen the ones you use and not others. All comments appreciated

Bellman and flint everytime maybe a bit expensive but what price do you put on your terriers life point said!

The red bellman and flint for me

[Al rounder 12]

Bellman and Flint is the best 1 iv used red or green box. Its very good for earths with wide range and depth. It also shows battery strength on collar and locator. well worth the money.

Barryvox pulse on the nose everytime even on hillsides where the bellman can be innacurate

[TOPPER 1,809]

the best on the market is the barryvox pulse and the bellman collars spot on everytime 1000 s of digs have proved it

When you switch the barryvox to analog mode does it really increase the range? Should allow for detection up to 80m add opposed to 50m.

I'm using the B&F collars and earphones with the box to hear the tone properly - still only gets a signal at the edge of the same range when set to digital.

 

Haven't read up much about it yet - no time - so interested to see what others have found.

Be good to hear any feedback on these, good price

Has anyone tried the arva neo avalanche transceiver? I'm upgrading from the old pieps box n collar! Torn between the pulse, bca tracker 2 and now the arva neo avalanche!

The final decision for me is the precision to 0 and accuracy on slopes!

 

The accuracy of the old box is def failing, last few digs the box has been reading the same over a bigger and bigger area?

[TOPPER 1,809]

the pulse and the tracker are spot on havent played with an arva for a few years now a mate had one it was accurate but the numbers were always out if it said .9 it was .6 but cant say about the new stuff

When you put the Pulse in pure analog mode it's only using one antenna - there's no digital processing of the beacons signal or display readout either.

I haven't done enough messing about with it but it's way harder to narrow down exactly where the collar is.

 

For Pablo - the sound when in analog mode is very very faint at edge of range - they recommend using headphones. On a windy day you will seriously struggle to hear it until you're with 45 yards or so.
