Read his post...he got to messing with some of the settings. Pretty sure he already deleted it.

You don't have to delete the collars every time, but some times it's easier to start fresh!

This happened to me the other night.My buddy bought a couple new collars..Everything is fine and we cut loose.About 30 yards out..My says collar so in so in interfearing with my collar.Says do you wanna change collar so it want.I put yes.So with the dogs done gone.It could not do it I guess and stopped tracking mine all together..Yall ever had that happen? Next time I want hit yes!!

collars

you are correct that it is not required to delete the collars and start over each time, I just feel it is better and that way I am sure each one is set and not interfering with anything else. Ga Dawg it may have prevented your issue if that was done, not sure. Anyway thats just what I do and everyone can choose to do or not but I haven't had problems with mine and I love em.

Yes there is a dvd out on the operation of the astro, I have seen them listed on amazon and buy.com.... There put out by bennett marine productions I believe. Usually around 12 bucks......

DESERTDWELLER ----would you please put the address of the DVD on here ---there another ASTRO ---It's not a dog tracking ASTRO 220---- that was what I was told anyway --thank you

My astro probably saved 2 dogs lives tonight.We cut loose and treed 1.Cut loose again and they went about 2 miles.Never struck anything.Showed em heading right straight toward the blacktop rd.We haul tail around and they are 200 yards off still coming.Came right to me standing on the side of the rd right as a car passed!! If yall aint got the magnetic ant.You need to get it.Had it not been for it tonight.We would not have known where they were headed.My buddies had lost them a long time before.I dont think I could ever cut loose without one anymore!!!

turn the astro on first and let it get gps signal before you turn the collar on
then turn the collar on and weight until you get a double blink on the collar this tells you they are connected

the collar will hook up faster if its warm

i lay mine on the defroster and let it knock the chill before i turn it on

I have one of thos videos. It is real basic and boring but may be helpful to some. Does anyone know the three buttons you push all at once to reboot the astro??

Doug if you don't find one I will mail you mine to look at. I will have to find it but it is around somewhere.
