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 Maxima receiver is
the most technically advanced dog retrieval system on
the market today. It is a fully synthesized receiver,
which can track up 1 frequency band (up to 1000 channels).
This system allows you to pre-program up to 2 collars
into memory. Additional collars can be tracked by manually
entering their band and frequency into the system.
It tracks Tracker collars or any other brand
of collars that you purhcase or may already own - simply
input your collars, as well as your friends' and hunting
partners' collars. It's quick and easy!
To use, simply unfold the antennas and turn
it on. Choose the self-adjusting "automatic mode" for
rapid direction finding or if the signal is week or you
need more precision, choose the "manual mode".
Manual mode allows you to control the gain for fine-tuning
direction. There is a computer processor to control operations
in both the automatic and manual modes.
The large LCD and excellent speaker provide
you with two methods to determine the direction to your
collars. The back-lighting system for the LCD allows
easy day or night use and the only power requirement
is two nine-volt batteries. An automatic shut-off after
five minutes assures a long battery life. 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, and 3 years on the
electronics (you may also choose to extend the 3 year
warranty to 5 years for a one-time $50 upgrade fee).
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 or two dogs, the Classic system
might be the best option. 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. Remember, if you often hunt in
unfamiliar territory, or in poor weather conditions,
a spare collar left at your vehicle can help
you find your way back.
