New e-collar

My Garmin Sport Pro is on its last leg. I've had two of these and they worked well, but it seems that my two won't last much over a couple years each. My current lab is 9 1/2 years old now, and doesn't respond much anymore to the vibe or tone. I've wanted to find an e-collar that also had a beep like locator built in, but most of them were continuous full-time or beep when dog is on point. I don't want that annoying beep going all the time, but only available for times I can't see the dog and just want one beep to know where he is. When in a large plot of cattails, or a 1/4 section of tall CRP grass, I want to keep track of him.

I found a DT-SYSTEMS-RAPT1450 that checks all the squares. Besides being an e-collar, the beep function can be set on Run/Point, Point Only, or Manual Locate mode. I really don't want to spend $400-800 on one of the GPS type units. This one at $279 is about right. Only time will tell if it turns out to be a quality unit or not.
 
I just bought another Sportdog. Got the 825x . Still have my 1825 over 13 years old still works great. My 425x needed replacing cause the receiver died.

I like simple so I can watch my dogs

I dont want computer screen on my transmitter and dont need it to give me a weather report of do my income taxes of play video games :eek::ROFLMAO::coffee:

Dogtra 2700 T&B will also do all of those things. It is what I use. You can manually beep to locate and use the vibrate to recall. I have a personal preferance of setting the "beep while on point" but mainly use this on Willow, my younger Vizsla. Ellie is an older Vizsla that hunts just for me so she is always close and stands up in heavy cover to see where I am at if she can't hear or see me. I use the manual locate for her. Dogtra's are loud. Dogtra's are very user friendly though and very durable imo. Customer service is amazing.
