E bay usually can save you a few quid

[Hob&Jill 258]

You are only going to get a few quid of either way....

 

I would get it direct of deben, makes things simpler if you ahve any problems with it.

 

And it dosent take a degree to use it, it is simple ONCE YOU BOTHER TO LEARN TO USE IT.

i cant see how people find the mk3 hard to use ....? search & locate, how hard is that !

[stubby 175]

I think people forget to flick the switch richie,

but your right, its not exactly rocket science

 

as for a cheaper mk3, you'll have better luck in finding some rocking horse poo

you get what you pay for mate, if you already have a mk1, and can use it to locate your ferts, why change??

if however you have a mk1 and cant use it, a mk3 will baffle ya,

i know what you mean !

 

mind you i remember reading on here that some put tape over the speaker outlet to quieten it down abit. good idea !

 

personally, the way i use it is put the switch to search mode & turn the dial "pin pointer" fully clockwise, then as soon as i get a reading, & hear the beeps going into over drive i turn it down slightly untill i can just hear the noise, then as i move closer & closer i continue turning it down. ill take a look at the LED indicator & as it starts to move down the bar i then switch it over to locate & carry on as before & keep turning the dial down as i get closer, then as i get to the lower part of the LED bar i turn it nearly fully down "anti clockwise" then keep sweeping the area untill i get a fixed position..

 

it just takes a bit of practice, then bingo !

 

i remember when i first got mine, i got my mrs to hide the collar in the garden, so we had plenty of places to hide it.. after 4 or 5 goes i had it sussed.

How does the mark 3 collar fair up I have seen posts stating that they are prone to slip off small jills

the million dollar question....

 

i can only speak for my self. i find the mk3 nylon collars great with larger hobs & jills, but sh*te with small jills, thats why i converted my mk3 to the m1 leather collar. some on here do theres up tight that makes it work for them but if i ever trid to tighten mine up, my small jill wouldnt have it..
