what ferret finder

[nicjhas 2]

Hi all, just want some info on the mk2 ferret finder as a guy has one for sale with 2 collars, he's asking £90. Is this worth it and if so whats the good points and bad points? I know the mk1 is the best one, but just thought this seemed like agood price, what do you think? cheers guys.

I know the mk1 is the best one,

 

thats your view, but not laid down in stone

I had a MK2 and I thought it was crap, then it broke down and I bought a MK3m, wonderfull piece of kit, I had a MK1, bit basic but ok

[nicjhas 2]

So whats the difference between a mk1 & mk2 finder, and are mk2 collars compatable with mk3 recievers?

[nicjhas 2]

sorry i meant mk2 & mk3 finders?

think of the mk2 as the prototype for the mk3, that says it all, the mk2 wasent out very long before they ironed out the glitches and produced the mk3, a mk2 does not have the pin point control, at the end of the day, hopefully you will only ever need to buy a locator once, if you go for either a mk1 or mk2 and it goes wrong, your out of pocket, a mk3 however and you'll get a years gurantee, followed up by an available repair service should you need it

As above cant be that good as they bought the mk3 out so quickly after the mk2

absolutly no idea, have ferreted with people that have mk1 or mk3, never mk2's, maybe that's telling us something

 

is he local to you, if so, ask for a test run, get yourself some new batteries and give it a try, £70 is a good price for a locator and 2 collars, but is it "too good to be true"
