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 all 5 frequency
bands (216 - 220). This system allows you to
pre-program up to 25 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.
