marshall reciever
I am thinking of buying a new tracker. I would like to get some feed back on the Marshall recievers. How well do they compare with the other systems on the market? If you have one please let me know the good and the bad. Thanks
Re: marshall reciever
I own one and they work just as good as the wildlife blue box which is the standard for as long as I've known.
T.K.

Re: marshall reciever
I have used the Marshall system for the past 5 years with no problems what so ever.
Have been able to track up to 8 miles with no trouble, and this is in some mountianous areas. The fact that the receiver runs on a 9 volt battery and the collars use AA batteries makes them very simple to replace. You do not have to send them back to the factory to get charged. Battery life has been very good and I have never had to repl;ace batteries more than once a season, however I do not run the unit unless I am tracking the dogs, and I turn off the collars as soon as we get back to the truck. The only problem I have come across is that if you have a dog out and are trying to track him with other dogs around you with their collars on you tend to get bleed back from them, If you turn them off there is no problem . At this point I am waiting for Marshall to come out with its GPS tracking system, sounds like it will be an industry leader if it lives up to the hype I have heard.
