Alpha 300 Handheld, Advanced Tracking and Training Handheld

This is a high quality piece of equipment. It connects with a TT25 in a few seconds, the connection is solid, and it pretty much works well in all conditions. I am using it 5 times a week, 1h to 1h30 each time, and I charge both this unit and the TT25 every other week. Not by absolute necessity, but just because the batteries are at or just below 50%. The software is showing its age. The UI could be improved, in the age of iPhones, but it works. I guess there is a tradeoff between usability and battery life. This one is prioritizing battery life. I only had one crash in 6 months. I like the physical buttons to activate the collar. Unfortunately they do not work when the screen went to sleep after a while, so you first have to wake up the screen to use these buttons. That would be the one thing to fix if I had to pick one. Great unit though. Maps are preloaded and are very usable. It’s proven software and high grade hardware.

Works as it should. Great buy.

Great quality

I've been working on recall with my puppy and we've recently dropped the long lines and things were going well. I had the Garmin on just to be safe - a bit of an insurance policy. Well, late one evening in a 5 mile deep swamp she chased after what must have been a deer. She went nearly about a mile deep in and I could track her the whole time. I chased after her but it was impassable. Watching the map I could see her begin to turn around and head back to me. I was also lost at this point except for the GPS. We reunited and made our way home. Maybe I would have gotten her back without the Garmin but the confidence it gave me is priceless. This setup is expensive but well worth it.

Espectacular

My pup got lost in the woods and I need a collar to track her. I tried a FI collar but that didn't work. This will track her in heavy brush. It is very accurate and long battery life. The nice part is I can use this as hiking GPS as well. There is freshwater map that I am looking at getting as well. Garmin makes great stuff and this is no different.

i got this, believe it or not, along with a dog collar for my dog who will not eliminate on lead. we were vacationing in the wilds of nh, and i didn't want to have to worry about her running off never to be seen again. she's well behaved overall, but can be skittish in a new environment. this unit works in areas with no cell reception and gave us a low stress vacation.

So, I bought both the Alpha 100 and the Alpha 300i for comparison. The 300i is way more intuitive and easy to use - hands down. The bigger screen is a must for my big thumbs to navigate. It's a big price difference, but I couldn't go back to the Alpha 100 after trying the Alpha 300i. I bought this to track my dogs while hiking. It doubles as a standalone backpacking GPS too. I'm pleased.
