Locator

Hi all! Not a new member just can’t log into my old account!

 

looking to get a locator, pretty set on the red bellman but wondered if there was anything better before I commit! Used the search but it’s not been discussed recently.

 

thanks

I’m in the same boat and it seems more and more people are complaining about buttons and battery issues with the b&f redbox, that’s pushed me to buy a pieps along with a b&f collar, but didn’t buy the pieps from b&f as they want £370 for a collar/locator/charger setup, can buy a collar for £100, £20 for the charger and £170 for the pieps from a avalanche transceiver website so £290 all together

I'm on my 3rd pieps box... Wouldn't entertain the red brick... You tried the mammut receivers?

How come DC? I got my red box taken when my van was stolen, I thought it was a lot better than the pieps I have at The moment?

Think he meant .... why do you prefer the pieps rather than the brick DC.

I have the red brick had it for 4 years but started end of last season to skip a beat so I am gonna buy the Barryvox, used 1 last year down digging with a fella and it was a good job!

It's just what I'm used too, boys got the brick , had a few issues with them, pieps always been faultless... I find the new b an f rechargeable collars not so good, I've had 2 stop working not hold a charge within in first 6 months. Any one use a different collar???

I did the exact same thing with a box, only I put the collar on with it

Drove back to find them on a main road in thousands of pieces
