richie 1 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 i was out the other day with a few mates from here & 2 of us were using a mk1.. mine was a 15ft box & collars & the other was a 8ft box & collar.. towards the end of working the first set there was one ferret left underground with a mk1 8ft collar on, i used my mk1 15ft box & picked it up at 3.5ft approx & when using the mk1 8ft box it was picked up at 2ft down... my question: has anyone else come across this ? i now take it a mk1 15ft box wont give an accurate reading with an 8ft collar & visa versa.

pritch 335 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 the box is no different except for the sticker on the wheel you could buy an 8ft sticker but most folk just halve the reading on a 15ft box when using a 8ft coller ATB Pritch Quote Link to post
