Who 179 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 I'm needing a new box, my mate chucked bar in back of van other day an I had box in a bag in back. Point of bar went straight into middle of it!!!!!!! He couldn't have done it if he was trying!!! He's lent me a deben long range, used it day before yesterday and thought it was ok. How come nobody rates them? Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 I reckon eventually they'll make a device where you can see through the ground like an x-ray to see the dog. Like the thermal night vision we have now. Technology knows no bounds! 1 Quote Link to post
THE GENERAL 1,982 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Used the Deben long range one day out with a lad that had it. We had a 9ft dig and another 2 handy 2/3ft digs with it, worked no problem I called it space invaders with the noise it made lol. But once you get a Bellman there's no comparison imo.

Lenmcharristar 10,321 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 You can turn volume down though. Do you think bellman worth extra £150?yes the 1st time your dog enters a land drain pipe they can travel hundreds of yards or more, with the bigger range you can find them a lot quicker Quote Link to post
THE GENERAL 1,982 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Can't understand why lads worry about volume the sound of digging is a lot louder in the still atmosphere of the countryside, if the volumes an issue put an earphone port into the box and that makes it mute same as the red box but why bother, the volume helps when you set the box down on a mark you've got and then there's a run around it's the first indication you get if the dogs at any depth that you wouldn't hear.

chilli 381 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Had some good fun with the old knocker box . You could spend ages looking for the dog in a big place on a windy day , but has been said . There's no comparison . Quote Link to post
