rabbitcatcher 1 287 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I baught a locator box and collar in a deal with some other hunting stuff and when I turn the box on it picks the collar up fine,when I turn the dial up to above 9 on the wheel it starts crackling a lot My question is Is it fooked? Need recalabrating or something ? I'm not keeping it but would like any info as I don't want to advertise it as full working order if it isn't The collar is 8ft I believe Cheers rc1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,592 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sounds like you have a 15 box and a 8 foot collar ?. Does it pick it up fine till eight foot ?. can you check it against a 15 collar ?. Quote Link to post
rabbitcatcher 1 287 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I don't have a 15 ft collar to try but it seems ok To be honest it's the first one I've had in my hand so I'm not 100% and I don't want to con anybody I know people buy them as spares aswell so it will go either way Also it feels like the inside moves a bit Maybe a holding screw missing? Cheers for the info Rc1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,592 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 You can take the cover off it tilt the insides its only the gauge wheel that should be holding it it should then pop out and you can see it a lot better Quote Link to post
vanman1 411 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 You do get a little movement nside the box its normal as said.Agree sounds like you might have an 15ft box with 8ft collar. Love my 2 mark 1s cant get on with those bloody new ones Quote Link to post
