Peach...when your uncle says to skip a channel...doews he mean if you have a #10 collar to switch to 9 or 11 and check direction?
I had the mn10 for many years and that unit worked most of the time unless we had the big power lines crossing the woods...but if the dogs were at 12 oclock the signal would be weak at 10 0clock and would be at its strongest at 12 oclock and as we keep swinging to 2 oclock it starts fading out...and because the signal is at its strongest at 12 oclock that is the direction of the dogs...I bought the wildlife because I saw the good reports on here and also because I got a great price on an almost new system...after I get all my dc 40 collars I need I will buy me an MN system and cut out all the bull crap...now I can't speak for all the other brands but I have 4 nother friends that use the MN and they don't have problems with their units...an old bear hunter got me started on them...
Exactly reuben. I had my collar 12 on and turned it back to 11 the unit tracked right to the collar. With it set on 12 it was like it was overloaded no matter how low i set the gain.
