I THINK WILDLIFE IS THE BEST MY OPPINION..


JAMIE,

I own the Wildlife TRX3 it is 10 years old and has been back to Wildlife once for a battery change and tune up Hands down they have my vote as the best brand available. Kurt

i have a Tracker Classic 2 and luv it, don't get me wrong the Wildlife is a great unit, but to high for me, so a poor man just has poor ways. hahaha

I have both a Wildlife 10 and a Tracker Maxima 5000/25. I carry the Tracker all the time and leave the Wildlife in the truck for the long range, rough terrain tracking. I use the Tracker alot more, but don't think I will get rid of the Wildlife yet. They both have their places. I wouldn't be afraid to own one. Good luck with your decision.

I have the Tracker Classic w/Supra Lite collars. Really like them.

I have owned wildlife and merlin and quicktrack qtr 10 quicktrack hands down though wildlife was good also, My friend says he has problems with the tracker in cold weather

Check out ebay for a nice used WILDLIFE 10 dog system . There's one on there now .


Buddy

Thanks for all the input on this.I bought a tracker classic with 2 supra lite collars off ebay.Thanks for all the help,Brian

You wont be dissapointed, it fits on your belt or in your pocket. No reason now not to put those trackers on!!!! Compact and I have tracked a lot of dogs mostly my friends and have never lost a dog yet!!!!

I have a Traker Maxima and recently had it upgraded for the yagi antenna. What a difference ! got the roof mount antenna too.
The unit alone is nice but when you put that yagi on you get more range and better pin point accuracy . Just make sure you spend some time to get acquainted with it.

Has anyone tried the Wildlife Systems 2 element antenna?

Brian, I have a trx3 mounted on the two element antenna, I did this about two years ago up to that point I had the three element folding yagi, the two element is super handy and easy to use (I carry the whole unit in my vest) but it does not have the range of the bigger antenna or the exact pinpoint accuracy when you are up close- you cant turn the gain down far enough to keep it from flooding with signal. All in all it serves the purpose very well. Kurt Robinson

Kurt, thanks for the response. It would be nice to have a compact unit to carry around in the field. I have a F&L MN-10 which I like a lot. I've been thinking about getting a 2 element antenna fot it.
