try and search the garmin alpha on here, I have seen a few reviews and the general concensus seems to be that the alpha unit is real nice but the range on the collars is way shorter than the astro's.......I don't have any first hand exp. that is just what I have read on here about em.
what is the best all around unit???for battery life and range???I don't care about the training part of the garmin...they should of had radio telemetry in its place...
Mr. Reuben I dont want to lie to you, i dont own any shock collars. I have owned the garmin astro 220 and 320 the dc30 on the 220 gave me way better range than my 320 with dc40's to be honest, i like the 320 unit and the dc30's mysekf
