It's called the Alpha, and has been out for alittle while.

They really need to do something about the number of dogs you can track and the collar interference messages. I don't have any problem with the system coon hunting, but when running deer hounds and where you may have 15-20 garmin collars within a mile or so it is a real pain.

Bruce,

Is the DC 50 for the Astro or Alpha?

Or are you just pulling our leg?

all i know is i hope if its a new collar there will also be an update for more numbers to be able to track.being limited to 10 dogs is aggravating because more and more people are switching to gps and the interference issues keep getting worse
