Ive had the 220 with DC 30/40s and Ive had the 320 with 40/50s. Now I have the Alpha with the TT15s. I do believe the Alpha and TT15s are better than previous combos when it comes to range and dependability. For some reason, the Alpha will still give me a ? when a dog may be at 300 yards sometimes, just like the 220 and the 320 did.
I have two hand held Alphas. I hook one to a long range antenna mounted to my ATV and the other I keep in a pouch on my hip. The one hooked to a long range antenna hardly ever looses any signal and tracks very well at a mile or more. I try not to let my dogs get much more than a mile so I cant say with absolute certainty that it will always track over a mile. I believe the one I carry in my pouch tracks further than my 320, but nothing that is going to wow you beyond belief.
I was perfectly happy with my 220/DC 30s and I was perfectly happy with my 320 /DC 50s. Only reason I made the switch was to try to stay up to date. I do like the shock feature on the alpha and I use it more than I thought I would to bump dogs and get them to come back. I like that the Alpha can have a lot more dogs loaded in it. I can also track both my handhelds using the other handheld, I think that is very nice.
If Marshal or someone else comes out with something better, I would be interested, but I am happy with my alpha. The hand helds are rechargeable, I really like not having to replace AA batteries.
