Been using these collars now for a while now.  Been tested in water, range, visibility, durability, etc..   Best collars I have found so far hands down.  The safety light feature is a must for nocturnal hunters like myself.  Seen my dogs a 1/2 mile away and knew which one it was just by what color led light.  The best part about em is they run off 2 aa batteries!  I was skeptic at first but Marshall somehow did it, they run a long time on those inexpensive batteries.(500 hours with lights off) Grin  Even got my good friend Tye (txboardog) to try one.  Says alot coming from someone who was raised around hunting dogs and all styles of tracking collars.  Even Tye will admit he "really likes these collars and wants more"  Go out and try ya one, proof is in the pudding.....

Just your regular 1.5 volt aa's, duracell or energizer.  I think they start around $169.  Here is the website http://www.marshallradio.com/hound/hproducts_transmitters.asp

I got four of em and I love them!  Good battery life, easy to change batteries, green light flashes when collar is on, when the battery has less then 100 hours of life left the light will blink red to let you know.  Three of mine are led but I never use them because I am afraid the it will spook the hog or make the dog easy for the hog to single out  Grin  I know its not likely but always in the back of my mind so I leave them off.  I also like that you can take the tracking unit off of the collar and replace the collar your self if need be with four screws, all you need is a new collar and a leather punch and you are good to go.

I dont own them but I like the fact you can turn them OFF\ON with a magnet by touching them off the magnet you keep on your keychain.

I loose my other magnets on a regular basis and somtimes we need to turn a collar off in the woods and with out carring all the magnets you are SOL.  THe marshal you just reach down touch it with THE magnet and it is off.

If I wasnt looking at GPS I would already have a 1\2dozen Marshall collars
