Garmin Alpha 300 Lanyard

Just curious what you're using for a lanyard, or how you're carrying this heavy beast that doesn't dig into your neck?

I have one of the many cases that have a clip on the back to attach to my strap vest. I mainly keep up with the dogs with a Garmin Fenix watch to I am not looking at my screen very much.

I also have a Fenix watch, maybe that's the way to go

I don’t have the GA300. However, I notice that it comes with a lanyard similar to what my sport dog came with .

I upgraded to a heavy hauler lanyard just this week that has a clip for my transmitter and my whistle.

If the clip won’t fit in the recess for the GA300, you may be able to put a small split ring on it and then clip the lanyard to the split ring.




Also, the jacket I wear has a handy breast pocket over my heart that opens to the side and i slip the transmitter in the pocket to keep it from dangling.

It is very similar to the call pockets on a drake waterfowling pullover

Good tip!

Depending on what kind of vest you use, you can try what I do.

I use the gear lanyard attached in the pic and have that clipped through a D-ring on my vest and then have it stuck into one of the shell pouches (that I don't use for shells). This keeps it from bouncing around and keeps it off my neck. I like that it quick detaches as well so I can remove it easily when I'm home or need to charge it.

I started with lanyard but hated the weight and that it swung down every time I bent over and banging the dogs head. I ended up clipping mine onto my vest with a short cord.

Slip pocket on vest holds the transmitter, easy access.

Years ago I lost the handheld to my tritonics. Unknown to me a trip and fall over a stick launched it out of my vest pocket. Luckily I was able to backtrack and find it. So since I've been a freak about securing them. Recently I bought the 300. I have a strap vest. I have one of the pyke holders and 1 of the lanyards munster927 showed. Plus have a loop of 550 cord through the 300 and a carabineer hooked to vest. So I'm redundant on the connection to the vest. Around the yard I bought the belt clip from Garmin and carry it that way.

I have redundant doubled up paracord on my 550 plus, both long enough I can use around my neck for short jaunts. On all day hunts I loop them through a loop on my strap vest and rest it in a pocket.

I don’t have the GA300 either, but I totally get what you mean about the lanyard. I use something similar with my sport dog setup, and I recently swapped to a heavier-duty lanyard that clips both my transmitter and a whistle—super handy. Also, for anyone who’s having trouble with the clip not fitting into the GA300’s recess, I’ve used a small split ring before, and it works like a charm. Speaking of accessories, I’ve been fascinated by these super clone watches lately—Rolex Super Clone models to be exact. I know it’s a bit off-topic, but the craftsmanship is impressive for the price. It’s like finding the perfect gear for your outdoor adventures, just a different kind of accessory!
