need help on which garmin to get

i am looking at the 220s, 320s,, and the Alpha......i have recently read from different sites and sources that if you have a Alpha and your hunting with someone thats using collars for 320 or 220 that it affects the tracking for the Alpha.. if it wasnt for that i would just go ahead and get the alpha... has anybody else heard this or witnessed it???

Haven't heard that and I have read a pretty good bit about the Alpha's. I have an Alpha and I like it a good bit better than the Astros.

have you used it around other dogs being tracked by the 220 or 320?

I have an alpha and I hunt with guys that have 220s and 320s. We haven't had any interference problems.

To me it is because it has the trainer/tracker in one unit. I only have to carry one handheld instead of two and my dogs only have to wear one collar. It also performs better than any of the stand alone tracking or training units.

I own an alpha. Never had a 220 or a 320 so i can't compair the three. My son and i love the alpha. The tracker and shocker combo is nice also because of one collar.
