Re: Alpha issues

Not sure what kinda of help you are wanting. Im not saying that the collars are made great but we cant really expect Garmin to make them Bulltet Proof. That would be like me complaining if one of my tt-10 collars got busted by a car and expected them to replace it. I do not HOG hunt but have been be...

Re: Alpha

One more note I took my card out of the Alpha and repeated using the tone button then going down to scroll thru the collars and about the 2nd or 3rd time the Alpha turned off again without birdseye.

Re: Alpha

All, I did some testing this afternoon. What I did is I downloaded a full 16 gb card to my dads Alpha( which he has not had any problems) and I have tried to get the box to shutdown but it will not. Next I was using my Alpha and I was trying to find a specific collar and used the tone button then I ...

Re: Alpha

Jay I totally agree! I also like this system over anything else that garmin has come out with. If they could get this problem solved the alpha would be hard to beat. I have garmin's number. It is in my phone & I talk to them regularly about problems I'm having. Most of the time they are helpful...

Re: Alpha

Robbie, I have not had any issues with the Alpha turning off or locking up when I shock hounds. My hunting partner has not either. We are only seeing the problems when we are on the compass screen scrolling thru the dogs at the bottom so we can check the distance. My biggest worries with the Alpha d...

Re: Alpha

I will call you Monday.

I wish I could try my dads card in my box. We are tracking everything the same other than him having a 32 gb card and me having a 16. I have tried this before but the subscription will not allow you to switch cards from boxes.

Re: Alpha

Okay, next question before I buy another SD card, what class do you think I should buy. I know that the class 4 is what I have now and the highest(that I have seen) is a class 10. The class is how fast it writes and reads. This could be the problem as well. I have been looking into all this today. D...

Re: Alpha

Buddy I understand about you not saying who you work with. I just like to deal with one person. I have never used the Alpha without the Birdseye view. When I first got it I only had 8 collars and it did not turn off but I soon added the other 8 collars to it. Being I hunt in so many areas I guess I ...

Re: Alpha

Buddy, the guy that has the 20 collars is having the same issues that I am. The guy with the 8 collars is not having the issues. My dad is not having the issues either and he has the same collars I do and we also have each other’s Alpha paired with each other. Now the guy with the 8 collars has the ...

Alpha

Has anyone had a problem with the Handheld shutting down when it is being used. It happens when I am on the compass screen and scrolling through the dogs or say maybe changing a dogs name on the collar info screen, and it acts as if it gets "confused" and the screen will just fade away unt...

Re: Size of Micro SD chip

I have 2 16 gigabyte cards that are full of hunting areas. When I down load I always use the highest level so I can see better. I choose not to go with a larger card than that because the start up on the Alpha take longer with more data it is trying to upload. So what I did was created a North Card ...
