Where can I get a unit and collar and not get ripped?
Define ripped? They aren't cheap but worth every penny. If you keep an eye on some of the field trial websites in the US from time to time you can find an old Astro 220 for sale.
I bought mine in the states. Not even sure they can be sold up here yet?
No you can't buy them over the counter in Canada yet as far as I know.
I have a used astro 220 handheld but no collars I would sell
I am looking for the 320 and the new DC 50 collar. I have concerns about trying to get it here from the US. I have been told that there some fraud problems. I have also been told that the ban on them is suppose to be done June 2014.
I would call F&T Harvesters in michegan they usually have no problem shipping stuf to canada
Some hound guy here must have a legit contact for me to call. Please send me an e-mail.
Use google. The are not a lot cheaper on ebay than from a dealer. I think most on ebay are actually dealers.
Expect to pay about $600 USD + S&H for a 320 with one DC-50 collar.
What makes the DC-50 better than the DC-40. I've been looking at these for a bit and couldn't figure that out. Garmin says:
"The DC50 is designed to work with Garmin’s Astro 320 tracking system, but the DC50 vaults ahead in performance by adding bark-detection and training functions, improved satellite coverage, better battery management, and a longer, more durable antenna.'.... "and waterproof to over 30 ft".. well, my dog isn't.
That's all good and fine, but it wouldn't make me hold out for one vs a dc-40.
I believe the DC50 uses the GPS satellites as well as the GLONASS satellites which will essentially double the amount of satellites the collar uses.
