Title: Re: Any idea on the astro? Post by: cthurman5 on April 18, 2016, 10:52:48 pm Ok Ill just have to start trying stuff and see what works.

It seemed to act right this weekend after I updated everything but I was having hell with it before and 75% of the time Im hunting with a guy that has the alpha so it is possible. Thanks Title: Re: Any idea on the astro? Post by: ArtHenrey on April 19, 2016, 09:48:03 am Make sure connection where antenna gets screwed down is clean onbothsides.
If hand held is updated and so are collars, update each collar to hand held. Communicate with collar, click on dog. Once you get to the stats of that collar hit menu, and it'll pull up update collar. Update each collar to hand held by itself. Turn off collar move on to next. Have you tried that? Title: Re: Any idea on the astro? Post by: cthurman5 on April 19, 2016, 10:44:04 am no i havent i will try that and could it be because a buddy of mine has a astro 320 that also connects to my collars also?
Title: Re: Any idea on the astro? Post by: ArtHenrey on April 19, 2016, 11:49:23 am I doubt it, we use to track the same collar too when I was using 320
Title: Re: Any idea on the astro? Post by: cthurman5 on April 19, 2016, 12:44:41 pm ok ill try the update with the collars thing.
Title: Re: Any idea on the astro? Post by: JGUIDRY on April 19, 2016, 02:12:46 pm check you ID'S on your collar, the last #( example) if you have a 12 id and you or some one in your party has any collar ending in a 2 ( ex. 2,12,22,32) that is the reason, switch ID#

Post by: hog bit on April 20, 2016, 06:14:11 am No but a buddy that has the 320 also and is connected to the collars to Is your buddy able to track the collars further than you are? If so that directly points to your Astro as the problem. They have a wire that runs from the antenna connection into the guts of the Astro that has known to break. If updates don't fix the problem it is time to contact Garmin. 1-800-1020 Title: Re: Any idea on the astro? Post by: cthurman5 on April 20, 2016, 08:30:19 am ok I updated it again, ill try it out and see if thats more than likely the problem.
