First impressions  the Box arrived this this morning , it was very well  wrapped and labelled , the box is a Mk 1 but much better made ,the collar  is highly  visible and made of plastic and a good sized Buckle which is a real plus  as i have bad  Hands  and eyes , it works well at 10  Feet + though  this was dry testing  , all in all its a well made unit and the maker seems to be in the game long term .

Do you no if collar works with mk3 box. Cheers

On the other hand ; if the box is basically a Mk1 ( actually a misnomer as there were several marks of the "Mark 1") it will work with modern collars.

Same, I love the new collars no messing about with a screwcap and insulation tape etc just a nice waterproof collar with the magnet to turn it on and off but just can’t get on with the disco box and not just because of the ridiculous noise!!! MK1 boxes are fair superior in my humble opinion.

So there is still no real option other than this new version of the mk1 box but it will pick up mk3 collars?

ive given up on the idea of the Nelson version - all I need is another 2 collars to work with my current orange box.

Your not the only one who’s given up on Nelson and not just the ferret finder either
