out this weekend trying my new tracker with the ortovox collar ,for some reason it says 2 meters when its only 1 meter and is doubling up on every mark ,absolutly pissed off ,just wondering if its the ortovox or the tracker ,how accurate is the d3 box with the ortovox collar ,got a feeling its the tracker thats giving the wrong reading but would like to no if the bellman and ortovox d3 give proper depth as the tracker is a pile of shit and wouldnt recommend to any one ,looking forward to any replies ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,yours seriously pissed off DF

Found the same here mate I believe it's the tracker not the collar but for the money it ain't to bad but I'll be looking for something better in the near future

DF if your using different collars with different boxes you'll get different readings

the B+F collar and box are 1.0 is 1 metre

same with D3 box + ortovox collar 1.0 is 1 metre

but if you have different kits you will get 1.0 at 2 foot, but it will always be the same reading so 2.0 is 4 foot with that set up. After a few goes you'll know what your reading means

the range on the B+F collar is 65yards and on the Ortovox it's 45, so you have to expect the boxes to be colibrated differently.

the Ortovox collar although having only a 45 yard range, it's easier to pin point as for a tiny movement from the dog it'll show up more accurately than a B+F

I dont know if the D3 system comes with a carry pouch but, If like me,you have bought a transeiver that does not come with a carry pouch go down to tesco for a camera case.I have just bought a Tesco Active camera case, that my Ortovox Patroller fits into perfectly, for £3.47.

Glad to hear you got sorted for so little mate, that's not much more than the postage would have cost for one off me that would have been a prototype pouch and probably not very good!!

 

Have seen similar small suitable pouches in ASDA too, Currys etc do posh "LOWE" ones for around a tenner.
