One of my collars is not able to be picked up in my Garmin 220. I can turn it on and it blinks like its working perfect but it jus shows a "?" In the info part on the Garmin screen. I might try to delete all the dogs off the Garmin this evening and reload the collars back on it. Seen a video on YouTube with a similar problem. Have any of u had this problem?

How many blinks are you getting? If its just one it isn't finding Satelite

I had one that did fine for the first few months then didnt. It would have one long blink, then one short, on long, one short... I took it apart all the way down to the board then unplugged the slip plug from the board. Left it like that for a couple days then put it all back together and it was fine. An electrical savvy friend said it would drain the transmitter and reset it  ... it worked though. |

Got it fixed  !! Watched a video on YouTube. I got the bad collar and the 220 and started by deleting all the dogs off the Garmin then used the bad collar and redound the collar as if the Garmin was brand new. Worked perfect. Thanks for the input guys |

Good news! Just a tip, delete and reload dogs before every hunt. It will only cost you about 10 mins but it might save you a dog and a $200 collar

I had this problem yesterday and was about to make a topic on it. Two of my collars yesterday once the dogs got over 900 yards went to question marks and never picked up again. Even when the dogs came back, it took the collars close to an hour to be picked up. Was wondering what to do or if i had to send them in. So deleting the dogs and reconnecting to collars every hunt fixes this for the most part?

Sounds like the problem i had with mine. I am going on a hunt Saturday and to try to "reset" my collars I left them on and drained the bats then took the slip plug off the board for a few days. I will let you know if mine works. It has in the past.
