Thanks Charlie,
I've got one of those Astro's and even with updating everything before I left it would say the dog was in one location and it was somewhere else. I've run Sophie with a Bell since day one of training and I like it for light cover where she works close. I did add a Lovett's add on beeper to her collar because in some of the slop she got out of bell range pretty quick. I'm not sure what long term damage a beeper does to a dogs hearing so I cut the sound in half on the beeper by applying duct tape to the end and cutting a small hole with a paper punch in the duct tape at the opening. I can hear her at 100 yards just barely.
I'll figure this Astro thing out, but mine is also a battery hog. I went thru a set of Duracells on the transmitter in about 90 minutes.
