What kind of telemetry system do you run? whats your range?

Whats up huntahs, i have the maxima tracker right now, upgraded to the 5000 so that i can hold all the different frequencies. But Im shopping around thinking of trying something new. So i figure to ask the huntahs of hawaii for a little bit of advise. We all have our preferences but what Im looking for is the best possible range in our mountains. I've looked at the quick track, marshal, wild life and tracker.

So what kind of system do you/partner run?
with what kinds of collars?
what is your estimated range?
what kind of mountain do you normally hunt? (example) over ridges, valeys, dense forest, open land, ect..

hahaha DONT GO GARMIN, if your looking for range. cuts out choke if you have a long range dog and thay go over a hill. im still looking for an upgrade too.

anyone try the tracker classic? need atleast 2 mile range in forest. "garmin dont cut it"

Tinyloc system would be good for you my bradda because you don't care about a map screen plus if u already have garmin collars you cam track their radio freq. With the tinyloc.

Hope that helps you out!!!

Alohaz, bradda Muns

How's da range of da tiny loc? Have u ever tried it?

the tinyloc has a shorter range then the garmin, i wouldnt get one of them . marshall trackers are the best and they are good for long range up to 13 miles i believe. on the island ide say a mile or two when it comes to the mountains. they are the best bet if you need range and they have a new one comming out that is a gps and radio tracker in one. they are made for hounds that hunt cats and bear. so they should do the job, its expensive but better then all the rest and it runs on double a batteries so that is another plus.

Really? Hmmm could you enlighten me with your experience with the tinyloc and its shorter range??? I'd really like to hear it and the circumstances you encountered? Mahalo for sharing!

could i run a tinyloc system and a PowerMax Long Range Collar?.?. from what i ben reading soo far it seems like tinyloc is the best "radio & gps". and thoes powermax collers look pretty action too. anybody used either yet?

SUP LES...FOR ME I LIKE THE QUICK TRACK 6000 PAIRED UP WITH WILDLIFE MAGNUM COLLARS DOUBLE 3.6 LITHIUM BATTERIES FOR LONGER RANGE.IT HAS NEVER FAILED ME YET.WORKS PERFECT HERE ON OAHU.I ALSO RUN THE GARMIN TOGETHER ON MY DOGS BECAUSE OF BATTERY LIFE ON THE GARMIN I RUN DOUBLE COLLARS JUST IN CASE I LOOSE DOGS MORE THAN A DAY.
IF ANYONE WOULD KNOW ABOUT TRACKING SYSTEMS IT WOULD BE KOA BOA I BELEIVE HE TRIED UM ALL INCLUDING TINYLOC SO HE WOULD HAVE BETTER INSITE TO YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT TRACKING YOUR ANIMALS...
GOOD LUCK AND HOPE THIS HELPS..........ALOHA TED

Sorry Bradda Les, I think I misunderstood what I read before and I don't think I addressed your questions I apologize. In order to better help you I have a couple questions. What is wrong with your current system? What is it that you're looking for in your tracking system? What type of terrain do you hunt? Do you have gps collars as well?

Aloha,

Bradda Muns

In my situation I prefer the garmin only because I like to "SEE" where my dogs are and what they are doing in real time and because I prefer having a topo map screen.

With that said, as with anything it comes down to personal preference. I can only share what I know from my personal experience I have and hope that it helps other Huntaz.

Yes, da tinyloc range is more than the garmin in my experience. I was able to track my garmin collars in radio mode even though they showed ? On the garmin receiver. I'm interested to hear what Jeremy has to say about its range being shorter than garmin???

So whth da tinyloc u can use ne type of collar

hows the "tracker systems" range?.?. can u run any collar with any system?

bradah muns how do track a garmin collar in radio mode?

sorry i havent been on here in a few days, to answer the question about the tiny loc, my buddy from idaho has the system and i am ging off of what he has told me about it. i was looking at getting the system and i never did because he told me his is not good for long range and not good for the mountains and dense cover. he uses it for it for his bear dogs and he said it just dont keep up. if i am wrong i am sorry i was just relaying the word of a good friend. dont mean to offend anyone, juust giving my piece of knowlage.
