man o kent 269 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Evenin all, just wondered which ones people would recommend. Never dug before, and hoping to start soon, so need to get them. Should i buy a spare collar too? They all seem ruddy expensive, but i know they are essential. Cheers Quote Link to post

man o kent 269 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Do any of you lads use the deben collars and locators? They look quite straightforward and reasonably priced Quote Link to post
bobby blackheart 1,209 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 they do the job-but are no way as good as b+f or any of the other avalanche finders that you can use for the dogs-like the boys have said-how much do you value your dogs?atb Quote Link to post

go2ground 152 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) I use the Barryvox Pulse with both Ortovox transmitters ( with the Stong Stuff collars ) and the rechargable Bellman & Flint collar...I am having a issue with one of the Ortovox transmitters ( sends a weak signal unless downward pressure is maintained on the cap ) sent an e-mail to Noble Custom tonight so I shall see what their customer service is like. The Barryvox is always right on the mark but I wouldnt be afraid to try the new Bellman & Flint locator after I have read what others said about it...The fact that it is rechargable is a plus and it also gives the depth in feet ( and meters ), another plus...I like the Bellman & Flint rechargable collar and have had no issues with it except for the time a coon was able to unbuckle the collar and remove it from my dog, that was my deepest dig to date 8ft, too bad it was just to a collar and not my terrier... Well the response to my e-mail was fast (next day) , next step is to mail the transmitter to Leicestershire from there it will be sent to Ortovox in Germany...They said it probably take approximately 3 weeks...
