Whether you are running a hound or a pointing
dog, being able to locate your dog in the field is
imperative. Tracker receivers have
distinguished themselves as powerful yet portable radio
direction finding systems that can be conveniently
employed in the field rather than left in the vehicle
due to size and weight limitations.
The new Tracker Classic System is
available as a "Single" or a "Double".
The Classic Single comes with a one-channel
receiver capable of supporting one collar. It also includes
a belt holster, carrying case, all required batteries,
and one Tracker collar of your choice. You select the
Tracker collar that best suits your needs (Price includes
Strike or Supra Lite collars. Intelo collar costs an
additional $20). This Classic Double comes
with a two-channel receiver and two collars.
The Classic System features
a "Near Button" for exact pinpoint tracking,
and a collar fine-tuner! To use, simply unfold the antennas
and turn it on. The LED Lights are color-coded (green,
yellow, and red) so you know exactly how strong your
signal is and the high-quality speaker provides a second
method to determine the direction of your collars. This
unit offers easy tracking for day or night use. The only
power requirement is two nine-volt batteries (included)
which are user-replaceable. The patented, fold down antennas,
the splash proof design, and the CNC milled body allow
this system to come with a 10 year warranty on the body
and antenna, 3 years on the electronics, and 1-year on
all collars.
The FCC rates the system as 12 miles
line of sight, with 2-1/2 to 4 miles normal in the
Ozark Mountains, and 4 - 7 in rolling mid-western terrain,
and the full 12 miles in areas like West Texas. Like
all Tracker receivers, the Classic is lightweight (14
ounces), and folds for easy storage into a holster
or a pocket (cordora belt holster included).

Which
system do I need?
If you need to track one dog, the Classic Single
system might be the best choice. However, if
you often hunt in unfamiliar territory, or in
poor weather conditions, a second collar left
at your vehicle can help you find your way back. The Maxima is
the best choice if you need to track 3 or more
dogs, if you have older collars you wish to use,
or if you want to program your buddies' collars
into your receiver.
