Title: upgrade garmin?
Post by: Purebreedcolt on March 30, 2015, 07:13:05 pm
Thinking of upgrading what should I go with 320 with 50 s and use my good 30s or go alpha route

i like the idea of being able to keep using the collars you got on hand instead of investing half a fortune on a new system that only 1 type of collar works with. for me, until  the dc series collar and the astros become 100% obsolete, I'm staying away from the alpha.

I have both.
-
 If I were running young dogs or hunting small places where I needed serious handle on my dogs, I would go the alpha route. The tone and shock features are really nice. My can bring them back to u if they get out of pocket.

 If I was running all finished dogs, I would go the Astro 320 with the DC 50 collars. The bark detector is a handy tool. I have consistently gotten 1.5 to 2 miles of range on the 320/ DC 50 combo.
