[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 133379, member: 1485"] I got to try out two types and settled on the SportDOG Tek 2.0. I didn't like the touchscreen of the Tri-Tronics Alpha. Plus I was bumping it constantly. The Tek 2.0 isn't perfect, either...has an issue where it'll freeze up when you try to power down and if you don't catch it your battery goes kaput. But otherwise it works great. If your dogs go on point (or take a dump longer than a few seconds) the handheld unit either vibrates or beeps or both to let you know that the dog has stopped. Sometimes if the satellite signal isn't great you get a lot of false notifications, so I turned the volume way down because otherwise it will drive you nuts. But I've never lost a dog! That was priority numero uno for me. Having a dog go on point in cattails (especially trained dogs who won't budge until the bird moves) is a scary thing when you're hunting in a big piece of cover. Plus I had a dog hit a snare two falls ago and decided from then on I wasn't hunting without a GPS collar. [/QUOTE]
