The tracker takes a little practice
But once you learn its quirks and how to use it, you will be really happy with it. The one draw back I see, is that in close, you have to really study the signal bar, because the back feed from behind you can be almost as strong. Like I say, if the dog is in close. In that case, you want to place the unit directly against your chest, using your body as a shield from behind. Play with it pleasure hunting. Track the dog while they are running a track and you will get used to it that way. You can't practice using the others when they are in the truck, tucked away. I have played with mine enough that I can usually guess with in a hundred yards or so. The biggest advantage is that it is very light weight and you can carry it without even noticing it on your belt. The range is very good. Even if the others have better range, you can whip the Tracker out and get a reading before they get out of range and if you had to walk back to the truck to get the unit out, your dog would have had time to get out of range. Some of the best money I ever spent.
