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 5 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.
