i sent mine to a place in quebec called Raytech electronics. they dont repair they replace with refurbs. I paid 172 for the astro, think a refurb collar is 80. no question asked about canadian adress. you can google them or pm me for their website

just woundering what the normal life span of a dc 30 battery is. I have a couple collars that are over four years old with the old battery. I dont use them much in the summer but they get used all fall and winter.

an old timer coyote hunter i know told me If you have a hard run dog you should be be embaresed to have people see the dog for being skinny. Here in Ontario my dogs run all winter. they are burning energy to keep warm at night and more when chasing yotes.
I find it is hard on a dogs feet if they ...

Well I got it figured out and it works in canada on a 320. looks pretty sweet when layerd with a topo map.

I was just wondering if any canadians on here have there 320 hooked up to birdseye veiw. i so how is it working for you, and how did you order it?

just wondering if they are being shipped yet. if so lets her what is up with them? still on the fence about getting one.

there is a setting on the 220 for whatever battery you are using(alkaline/lithium/ nickle) set it for what u are using. cold weather will also affect the charge.

what breed are those dogs. pure greyhound,or lurcher. bet they can eat up alot of ground fast. nice work.

dont use a cb antenna on your garmin.it will kill it . you need to use a marine raidio antenna(vhf). cant really go wrong with garmins longe range antenna. I made a holder out of pvc pipe for walking it the bush. only problem I have had is closing the window of the truck on it, my bad .

I just use mimh recharchables for cost reasons. but I keep the lithium in my pack for backup. when the temprature gots cold the still hold up good. darn expensive here in canada, about 14 buck for a four pack.

forget sueing garmin. Im going to sue GM, I have to keep fixing my car and truck. The way i see it the stuff you always use seems to break the most, but what are you going to do but fix it.

the dc 20s are junk. poor water proofing very easy to over tighten antenna which then breaks crappy soldering inside. Pain in the ass using a counter weight to get the antenna to stay in right position. For a hundred bucks more you would be better off getting 1 dc 30 collar and astro that is brand ...

I like starting my own dogs from pups. I never have paid for a pup and probably wont unless both parents are exactly what Im looking for. I wouldnt pay more than 200 for a pup either. The way I see it I am the only one to mess with the dog, get it to do what I like it to do hopefully. For me half ...

dont bother with the dc 40s The 30s work just the same and are cheaper, I wrap my collars with electrical tape and they have held up for two and a half years now.there isnt enough change in the dc 40s to make them worth any more. JMO

I only run coyotes and if a pup willgo with the old dogs its time.I also dont mind if they go for a little bit then come back on there own track, i figure if they cant keep up at least they us there nose to get back in the truck.
