Garmin ALPHA with T5 in HUNTS

Will the Garmin ALPHA with T5 Collars be allowed in hunts and fall under the same rules as the Astro 320?

Was just to get on here and ask the same thing. Garmin has really listened when designing for competition hunts as well as being used on alpha and 320 units.

I know you are looking for an answer from UKC but the ban was not actually on the Alpha it was the shocking function of the only collar that worked with it. Now that the T5 has removed the shocking function I would assume that it will be allowed.

So I assume the rule will be changed to allow carry of the ALPHA if you have a T5 collar.

T5 collars linked to the handheld of an Alpha 100 will make the training capability features (shock and tone) of said handheld non-usable (disabled). So yes, the Alpha 100 handheld may be carried and used during hunting time, but only "IF" linked to a T5 collar.

The easiest/quickest way to recognize the T5 collar is the bright orange colored cover over the GPS module mounted on top of the collar. All other Garmin module covers are black.
