stubby 175 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 you can only bid upto an amount that YOU think is right at the time, ie how bad you want one just a collar?, already have the knocking box? a new mk3 collar £45, and a mk1 box will pick up the signal, quicker knock, so a used mk1 collar???

mooster 1 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Is that right?...A Mk 3 collar is compatable with a Mk 1 box? Cos I also need another one. Could you just confirm Stubby? Thanks. Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I use a mk3 locator and box, the mk3 locator will pick up a signal from magwitchs mk1 collars (8ft) but very irratict however, magwitch's mk1 picks up my mk3 collars fine, the knocking heard is at a faster pace than that from a mk1 collar, he can then tell weather its my fert (mk3) or his fert (mk1) that its picking up Quote Link to post

YIS T wether its a mk1/mk2/mk3 if your outta range, none will work, as with any finder mate its only as good as the person using it, if you wanna stand still, then you'd save your money and buy a bit of string, but searching and locating is what its about Quote Link to post

Guest Bigbob Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Pretty sure they cant fix them as theres wires in the resin to act as a anttenna and once you open the resin there f*kced Quote Link to post
