Hey Rip, Looks pretty fancy ay? What are the collars it comes with , do you know ? Or can you nominate what collars ? Do those antenna fold back ? Why is it if its so good that it has an outlet to plug in a Yagi. This still means you have to carry that aswell. Just curious thats all. Is 433Mh a legal channel in OZ ? Mine operate on on 151 & my mates on 152. Looks tidy but. Doggy

Right O then bloke , what in your view is the best Tracking system on the AUSTRALIAN MARKET ? With a direct answer please no round about mumbo jumbo answer. I agree with you some what to a degree on your spiel. However have to debate the fact you think that the TITLEY collars are underpowered. Given from my experience in the field that they give out better signal than the Biotelemetry Collars that have an external antenna. The TITLEY collars have an antenna wire which runs internally round the full length of the collar on either edge , thus giving it 2 antenna. We had a case up here were the dog was killed laying in a dip on the aerial. He could not be picked up on the receiver & the dog with him was wearing the TITLEY collar which was still holding the pig. This is how we ended tracking the dead dogs postion. So how do you explain that ozrsole ???

High Camilla, Dont buy anything else but a Trailblazer. Thats all that really gets used up here & proven time & time again. I have an 80 litre & it has not stoped running since the day I brought it. I brought 3 at the one time & they are awesome. They take the punishment of sitting in the back of the ute in Bulldust , boucing round on the corrugations & whatever you wish to dish out to them. They are not a problem with freezing or keeping things ice cold. I have had Evacool & Engel & in my honest opinion wouldn't look at anything else on the market. Everyone I know has them & cant say enough about them. Look up there web site , norcoast.com.au They are made to order which you can get a basic model or you can have guages mounted to display battery power & temp. along with freezer switch & LED lights to display when power is on & when the fridge is running. Along with cut out lights that show your car battery is low. Check em out & have a yarn to em. They are full of information that will convince you they are the way to go. Oh yeah forgot they are all individually tested to 43 degrees on there premisses. Goodluck with it.

Thanks for the comments Peter. I knew there would be others that have had similar experiences as friends I have that have the Tracker brand. I know what I said was true , I only posted an opinion on them but I guess your right, some people just wont accept that there is truth in the matter. Cheers, Doggy

Whatever Scrubdog. I've seen them in the field . Maybe they are not as deadly as you in operation who knows. But they have had them for a bloody long time & have spent many an hour using them trying different things out with them. So when they dont bother to pull them out must say something for them. I'm not on here & cant be bothered arguing crap about which ones better or what. Its just mine & 7 others up here that use trackers have the same opinion of them. Have never seen on here where opinions where not allowed. Not interested in counting penny's to see who can out do who. I left that behind in primary school thanks. So you make of it what you want , it wont change our opinions of them up here. My 2 bobs worth , Thanks all & make of what I have decided to post on trakers with you all as you wish. It is true as the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for " is the bottom line. Cheers, Doggy

Scrubdog, Where you hunt ? I was told that by the blokes who own them & have more than 28 years experience hunting the type of country mentioned in my post. So dont tell me its bullsh&t. Ivé seen em in operation the same time mine have been in the field with theres. Get off your high horse Scrubdog. Its is an observation made by them & myself. There must be something in it if they were not picking up the dogs in the jungle.

Timber Man, The Trackers dont seem to be effected with those weather conditions that I have experienced. The way I use my Tracker is to bring the number tracker up I want. I then turn up the volume to full so it is clear to all. I then turn the gain right up till it starts going up to its greatest recieving signal while SLOWLY doing a 360 degree turn holding the Antenna. After I find the general direction of which the signal is at its loudest, I then begin to slowly adjust the gain down till the signal is faint. Step 2 : Turn the gain back up past this point just a little & do another SLOW 360 degree revolution. This will then give you the exact direction in which the dog is in of that 360 degree circle you have turned. I then start heading in that direction for a few minutes. Stop & listen for the dog. If nothing repeat from Step 2. As I get closer to the dog my signal neddle receives a stronger signal & the beep I get through the volume becomes louder as I get closer. Hope this helps & you can understand what I have put up. Let us know if you dont. Goodluck with it. Cheers, Doggy

Hazedog, The bottom line is you get what you pay for mate. I have Titley Trackers. The aerials are built in to the collar . Which I think is good as you get a reading any way he may be facing or even if he is up against a creek bed wall with the antenna against it. (As I have seen happen before with exposed antennas) A mate of mine has a Biotelemetry Tracking system & he seems to think the Titley has a stronger Receiver. They both use the Yagi Antenna & I would highly recommend them both. Have seen them in the field working & I hunt Cane fields & Rainforest Jungle & Gulf & Cape York country. These would all be the harshest of enviroments to use them & they have proven themselves. On the other hand I know some fellas with Tracker Cllars & if they are not in open country they dont even bother to pull them out to use as they recon signals cannot be picked up after the dogs exceeds a distance of more than 300 meters from you. Anyway mate goodluck with whatever you buy. And if it were me ,I would save my bickies a bit longer & get the best quality Tracking system you can possibly afford. Cheers, Doggy

Dr Pig , Some pics if possible would be good. I am looking for one as well. What size is it ? Like what size trailer it fit on ? Is the unit fixed down on the drawbar or mounted up high. Up here ( NTH QLD ) they are mainly all mounted on the drawbar so there is no vibration to F#@k it. Have seen a few blow up if mounted up high. $1500 is that complete with refridgeration unit ? Cheers, Doggy
