Help with Deben please

I have had problems with the mark 3 and the batteries have been changed three times to eliminate that as a problem.

 

The receiver is picking up the signal from the collar at close range on locate but I am also getting a signal when the reciever is being pointed elsewhere, obviously this is not ideal and I won't use it and risk losing a ferret. Has anyone come across a similar problem?

 

Cheers

can sometimes happen when the collar transmitter isnt facing straight down mate .

i know the mark 1's could have had there shitty moments too but alot folk seem to have problems with these new mark 3's... just wondered are they really worth the money as i thought about getting one for the terrier??

think you'll find the instructions tell you to put collar on, with transmitter on back of neck, not pointing down (as around throat) although thats where I fix mine

the mk3 I think works at its best, when the collar/fert are laid up with a kill (not moving) and can search and locate fine, yet when trying to "track" a fert underground, is when it goes haywire

of course you'll get a signal when pointing away, thats used in conjunction with the visual LED's and the pinpoint on the back,

make sure batteries are facing in different directions in the collar, i once got caught out with that one, put batteries in facing wrong way and it was given all sorts of crazy readings turned them around and hey presto

Spoken to Deben and i'm sending it back. I point the receiver away from the collar and get an absurd false reading, the search mode won't pick up the collar unless its a few feet away People at Deben said the rod insode the receiver may have come loose.............
