young man 225 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) If I buy this box that runs with 457khz will it work with the new b&f rechargeable coller? I dont work so its hard to get cash for these sorts of thing thats why im trying to go with a cheaper option. And also how accurate are these boxes? As its a digital signal intena ?

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yeah it should work bud, avalanche transceivers, the dog collars and even ferret collars all run on 457hz . As for accuracy I couldnt say. Have you compared the spec to the other pieps box usually used? Quote Link to post
TRUE SAXON 108 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yes it works mate you need to be alot steadier with it when your trying to locate dog as it only as one antenna and it makes it abit slower but you will end up on dog !!! If you can afford a little bit more try and get one with 3 antennas it make life alittle easier im using a box called arva at moment its spot on atb true saxon 1 Quote Link to post
fox digger 1,086 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 a lad i know bought a pieps freeride to save a few quid, the same as the one you quoted. not as good as the pieps dsp that came with the b&f set. it was slower and just not as good at locating as the dsp. if your not in a rush stay saving and get the dsp.

timmy k 590 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Got one and it works, as has been stated slow and steady is the key, only problem is if the terriers having a bit of a hard time and theirs a bit of to and fro'ing the box can go a bit mad but it settles, I have used the more expensive boxes and the price difference shows in the speed it takes to locate, but as I've stated on this forum before to many people are in a rush to get down to the dog, maybe they should have one of these boxes and they might realise their dogs aren't as good as they think they are.

For me I'd rather give that bit extra for piece of mind . Edited January 20, 2015 by marshman 1 Quote Link to post
timmy k 590 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm glad your dogs alright marshman but a big annoyance of mine is people starting to locate the dog before it's had time to settle, these boxes make that process quicker and before you know it they've got the spade out. One of the best parts of a dig to me is letting the dog go, crack open the flask, sarnies out, realise I'm the only one who's brought sarnies so shared round, and then a few laughs and tales of previous digs and experiences then when the fat b*****ds have ate all my lunch box we locate the dog. HAPPY DAYS! 1 Quote Link to post

timmy k 590 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Your not taking hours here, say for instance I have the cheap box and mate has the expensive one, we put the dog to ground and have a race to see we're the dog is and depth, he'll know probably 30 seconds before is know on a small to medium earth on a large sprawling earth add a minute or two there's not a lot in it as far as terrier works concerned, but if I were in an avalance I know which I'd prefer!!
