I don't mean to be a harsh critic, but most anything is nice when it's brand new.  Please let us know what you think of it when you have spent a few months hunting with it real hard.  Most everyone I know that has one either hates it, or has sold it already.  Battery life, water resistance, effective range, and antenna problems are a few of the complaints I have heard.


I havn't had any problems with battery life ,and my dogs have had a number of swims to cool off while wearing the transmitters .Effective range hasn't been a problem either ,as the hunting in New zealand with its steep high hills & mountains ,longwith the very tight bush is tuff on both gear and dogs .The antennas are a problem and I replaced mine with right angle after market aerials from valley creek hunting supplies which have proved to be very effective ,and tuff showing no signs of wear after a good number of hunts .
