cymruguy69 5 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...&hl=ortovox Lot's of good stuff on there. sounds like you need to buy a collar off of strong stuff for the transmitter. I went with the B + F. you get a 5year guarentee and it's been tried and tested by I don't know how many digging men. Quote Link to post

ginga john 268 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hello Selwyn, what transceiver comes with the kit? i have my eye on the M2, although the patroller looks good too is it true you have a supplier for these things? cheers GJ Quote Link to post
hue jeers 6 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 is it true you have a supplier for these things? Yes 'Baron Selwyn von Ortovox' has a certain 'ring' to it don't you think Quote Link to post
dev 227 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 does the ortovox reciever work with the b&f collar?? and if so how much does a reciever cost? cheers Quote Link to post
jessdale 416 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I have got the Ortovox Patroller handset and it works with the other company`s collar perfectly . Quote Link to post
hue jeers 6 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Dev, they are all 'avalanche' safety gear mate. All work at 457 khz ( i think thats right ) but on the same frequency any way. My 'box' was a lot less than the Pieps system ( which B&F supply )but having said that, in my opinion, B&F aren't ripping people off, they are selling Pieps at a reasonable price and one that is competetive with other suppliers. Best thing to do is to google avalanche/ski safety eqpt and see what you come up with. Quote Link to post

Guest WILF Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Who is this Selwyn? A messer of the highest order, thats who............ Quote Link to post
Guest Leveller Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Oh I think I'd get on fine with him then. I like messers that's why you mean so much to me Quote Link to post
lonedigga 23 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I paid £287 for my B&F in 2005,and imo it,s been worth every penny,i've heard a few people moan that it takes too long to pinpoint a dog but i think that half the time they're worried about the dog coming away before they can find it let alone dig to it.If and when the time comes that i need a new locator then i would probably try the Ortovox but feel that if B&F hadn't brought out their system we'd all still be using the mk1 deben as they didn't up their game till B&F got involved..Choose what you want but imo both are a vast improvement to Deben who are the real rip offs in this particular market...
