I had the old wildlife TRX-3 for years and had a hard time upgrading. I'm one of the guys that believe that, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Well I finally decide a few years ago to go Garmin and picked up a 220 and a DC30 collar. I've sense picked up another collar and one of those extendible antennas. I know that system very well and it still works very well so why go through the headaches of learning a new system. My hunting friends have alpha systems and I track my hounds very well right along with them. It's kinda like dog boxes to me, an old beat up box or a new $1,000 box will both haul your dog from point A to point B but that doesn't reflect the caliber of the dog your hunting. It's all what you're willing to spend your hard earned $$$ on and how bad you need/want it. I used to track some pretty big name dogs on my little 3 channel beeper tracker while everyone was upgrading. For now I'm hanging on to my old 220, heck who knows, it may outlast me, LOL. To each their own. BTW, my old TRX-3 still works and will be a temp backup "IF" the old 220 breaks! Hope everyone has a wonderful day.
