Click on ARTIKEL (upper middle )

than on BAUARBEIT ( second on the right )

than on BAUSENDER ( first on the left )

 

and than you find them !

 

they also send on 457 mhz like the B&F , so you can use the transmitter with the Pieps also and the B&F collar with the Ortovox Receiver ! you can use all allvanache Receiver that send on 457 mhz , digital and analog ! We will use the analog one´s !

Greeting´s

i bought the new deben finder not the long range one and had nothing but trouble with it sent it back they said tyhere was nothing wrong with it so i got it back next dig it said 7 foot it was only 3 phoned them up they told me the transmittor on the collar has to be on the underside of the dogs neck as soon as it slides round the dogs neck it is way off which isnt practical every time a dog is underground the collar is transmittor is going to move it is absouloute rubbish im now using the mark 1 again how can a company bring a new locatoer out that is worse than the last one that was out 15 years before it i will be getting a bellman and flint soon

had also the same problems with the long range terrier finder...it is on the point but gives often false signals when it comes to debth...often the signal shows much deeper than the dog actually is...it is than very nice to think that is necessary to dig maybe 3 meters deep and then reach the dog after 1, 5 meters:)

 

i think the deben long range terrier finder is a good comromise from the "cheaper" locaters but i will invest next time for the B & F or for a locater like steezy said.

 

regards
