J Darcy 5,871 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Just be careful buying second hand without a trial........ They are a top-class bit of kit, and I wish I'd have had one 15 years ago, it might have saved a bit of head ache and hassle. I rate them highly. One thing worth remembering is not to upgrade them, just leave them as they are. 1 Quote Link to post

If you buy them from new now they are already upgraded to the new frequency you have to down grade them sort of speak I had to and I had mine about 3 months ago !! But great bit of kit and keeps you in tune with the hunt when it's gone a long way out of sight !! But heart in mouth when you look at it and the dogs over 3kms away lol 2 Quote Link to post

bullmastiff 615 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 To Downgrade the software you basically download the old program version (before 3.6 I believe) Then name it the same as the new software that's on the garmin then overwrite it onto the garmin. That should take it back to before the frequency 433hz was banned in Europe. 1 Quote Link to post
