as for collars i think its personal prefrence.some people love wildlife changeble batteries collar.i dont,they beep too slow for me.i like the fast beep of johnson collars,they are sealed units but i have had them for a long time and had no problems with em.they are live for almost seven weeks a year for sometimes 24 + hours at a time.personaly i dont think it would matter what collar or box i used im fortunate enough to have probably the best antenna ive ever seen.its localy made by some comunications guy around here and is 4 element narrow band width unit that is out of this world acurate and picks up soooooooooo far it aint funny.after i got it i had to re-learn how to track with it.now days though i see alot of guys going with equipment they can just afford instead of going by quality.
You've never used a Marshall Powermax collar. That I can tell, by you saying the Johnson collars are the real deal. Once you try a Powermax, you'll sell your Johnsons quick. Also, the Marshall 4000 is the real deal. After you try that combination, tell us how you feel about what you're currently using. Not causing trouble, just informing you what's out there.
