The lurcher went missing today for about 20 mins finally found him after reading a few posts on here it seems the way forward is the garmin Astro 320 and the t5 collar as far as I can work out you can only buy them from the good old USA what would be the best way to go about getting one if I decide to take the plunge BB

How about eBay u.s.a and ask how much to post before you buy

i have been onto GPS4U.COM regarding the astro 320 and the 5 x t5 collar setup , my main question was would it work in the uk without any updating ,, they say that they are programed to work in Europe so will work here , there prices are around the cheapest I have found to date , does anyone know of a better / cheaper supplier ?

Just watch what you buy, the lad that I go with spent 2k on receiver & collars, got it over and found the freq was blocked in the uk as it was close to the es freq. luckily they refunded no probs & now has the uk comparable ones.. Oh and don't be lazy taking collars off if you box them up for travel, chewed collars ar 150 a pop because the tips been chewed is a sore one..

great advice about taking off the collars whilst in transit expensive mistake you only make once although luckily you can buy aerials to replace chewed ones

The ones he ended up using, you couldn't just replace the aerial , the sole collar has to be replaced

The lad I mention got his first ones from France & they said the same, turns out they were wrong, might be a different make / model, not sure
