them loc8or light things?

[sikastag_1 689]

me and my mate got into a conversation last night about locator's both of us use mk 1s for ferrets i told him id seen on here people talking about these collars and i red on them a bit but does anybody know actually how far theyll go underground? what are they like for actually getting a location underground? do they bring you to an exact point when your right above the ferret? do they give you any indication of depth? (i dont think they do but may aswell ask) and the bottom line are they any good lol? i think it would be good for places with thick cover you normally wouldnt do cause end of the day you can locate your ferret for a fair distance but what if it went so far then down a hole or whatever if you cant get a depth or if it went so far and the ferret went down a hole then you loss your location?

 

cheers in advance for any information.

Yeh ,the new Star trek locators will pick up your fred up to 16feet (with a tail wind ,rider naked ,lying flat on the tank ) ,but... Being diplomatic I would say that if you have an old grey box locator that works and you know how to use it don't bother bother buying a "Mk111 Hi Viz,all-singin,take me to your leader, where the *** is my ferret?,2 foot down ,no 4ft down ...all dancin,If you have epilepsy do not look into the lights, will it still work in 25 years time like the old type?, etc "Locator ..

A lot of people ,including me, are using the old type of grey box locator with the new style collar.You have a range of about 10or 11 feet with this set-up.

you mean the loca8tor not the mk3 i take it ? not sure how deep they will go and no one even knows if they would last a season yet .

 

everything thing will need to be put in a bag or sealed . stubby has done a write up on this as they kindly let him try one .

 

 

 

 

probably wrong

as an UNDERGROUND ferret locator, Id say stick with the mk1 or mk3, but as a ABOVE GROUND location system, to be used in conjunction with a deben, then its a usefull addittion, as stated, if your ferreting in heavy ground cover, a ferret could easily slip away, using the loca8tor gives you a min 400ft search area,

have you tried this mate? like a mk 1 collar with this locator tag or whatever on it aswell? is there any interfearance etc? just got me thinkin cos iv got some parts on ground i have permission on that i wouldnt even think of droppin a ferret in not because its that thick you cant do anything or i wouldnt do it anyway its still decent but there is just that chance of a ferret slippin your sight then basically your f****d so do you think you could use bothlocators on the same ferret? might be a daft question as i havent held a loc8or lite in my hand and seen the size of the tag but still worth asking.

there is a pinned topic at the top of the ferreting section, if you take the time to read it, it will give you the answers to all the questions you have asked, seems easier then asking me to write it all out again

 

plus if read fully, your see that they dont interfere with each other

i wasnt sittin back and askin you to write it out cause i havent already red it iv redthrough your post twice but not the whole topic and in no point does it say what i was askin, youve just answered yes to my question but in the pinned post it says it wouldn't take much to fix to a collar then your mk3 cost........ it doesn't say anything about putting 1 of these on a mk 1 locator collar so 2 locator's on the 1 ferret.

 

cheers i might give them a try.
