for range- quick track/wildlife

for easy of use same as above

for avalibilty while out in the timber and wanting to not walk back to your truck for your tracker. maximum and garmin would be your best bet.
it seems like most have went to the max because of this feature and they still reach far enough to find your dogs in MOST situations.

I have a wildlife 16 channel and Johnson collars with no complaints. I could pick up a signal at 8 miles just testing it one day. If you go with something like this I would spend the little extra money to get one with noise blankers, isn't bothered by power lines.

IMO.........the Marshall Tracker has it all. It has the range and accuracy of the big systems but folds up and packs nearly as easy as the little systems. Now that I have one I would never own anything else.

I have a qt 6000 and love it. QT also has a small antenna now that you can pack. The add says you don't have to sacrifice range and accuacy but like I said that was the add. The new antenna is $90. May have to try one.

With the new baseplates and antenna modifications out there the Garmin Astro is what I use and recommend.
