have you checked the cables inside the box, they could be loose

Could it have been interference?

That is why I always have 2 finders with me in case one goes on the blink. Obviously doesn't have if the collars the problem.

might be the batte ry conections try scraping with a small screwdriver and make sure the coller is firmly closed and taped or the connection will fail steve

I agree with you 100% there mate. I have one of the Mk3M and last year it would work good sometimes then it would mess about at other times. Sent it back to crappy Deben 3 times for them to tell me it had been tested & was ok. Funny enough its working ok at the minute but thats not to say it wont start messing about again.
