Managed to pick up another collar for my Ferret Finder so I have two now. I am using a Deben Mk1, 15ft Finder rather than the newer Mk3.A lot of people recommend the Mk3, although there are just as many that prefer the old Mk1 because of it's simplicity. Nobody it seems likes the Mk2 as it had awful battery life and didn't work very well.
The Mk1 is a nice piece of kit. It is a rectangular grey box with a wheel and that is it. There is no difference between the 8ft and 15ft boxes apart from the wheel calibration sticker. The difference is in the transmitter collar. So, you can buy an 8ft box, get a new sticker for the wheel (free from Deben) and use it with 15ft collars. The collars are leather rather than the newer Mk3 ones which a lot of people don't like as they have to be done up so tightly to stay on that their ferrets turn blue :-) A trick is to take the transmitter off and put it onto an old leather collar.
