Dale,
Which version do you have? I saw a presentation from Garmin on the Astro a couple weeks ago. They claim that the reception issue and the issue of breaking antennas has been fixed in the new model. We'll see when it comes out in August.
Ive got the one that came out last summer. The first one without the vest deal.
Anyways glad they fixed the issues, Since I already paid for mine I guess I won't be getting a free upgrade.
I think the Tracker is better and will continue to use it and recomend it.
Here is the best thing about it though...they now have the DC30, an entirely redesigned collar for the Astro that fixes the problems. It fits like a regular telemetry collar.
SWOSUMIke, glad yours works great, if they never had any problems, i guess they wouldn't need to fix any issues.
DOGTRA still the best electronics I have ever used
