Title: Garmin
Post by: TinyTexasCowgirl on December 03, 2011, 08:56:10 am
Ok I know it has been talked to death, but I am on my way to bass pro to buy a Garmin and 2 collars today. They have the Astro 220, and DC 40 collars. Is that the set up I want to look for? This will be my first system.

You might as well go ahead and order you a long range antena. Just play with it and you'll figure it out. If you can use an iPhone you can easily use a Garmin. They are a ton of fun. You'll wonder why you ever waited so long to get one. Not worrying about where your dogs are will make you live longer too. Now to get you off those cigarettes.....
