right lads , i have done the factory reset on my 320 , ran all the collars flat then recharged, then uploaded the garmin webupdater to my pc , then i have reloaded the 320 , im going to add the collars to the box tomorrow sometime and see how it goes ,( my 320 was only trackin 1 from 8 collars ) atb belucky

well don't try that lads, my 320 is now disabled for use outside uk ,,,, I have just mailed garmin for advice

Go on the gps4us website n click there live chat, n speak with them they should be able to get you out the shit mate

just come off there site mate , very helpful but needed the receiver sent back , but would unlock for free , even went as far as to tell me there is unlocking software out there if your lucky enough to find it ,

Lucky ? I must of been lucky as they done it for me ? Edited October 14, 2017 by bunnyboiler

Iv heard of a few people that they are havin trouble with the collars trackin in the last few weeks. I havnt had a single problem with mine. Just ordered another collar from gps4us aswel at the weekend.

Lads the collars that are linking to box but not tracking need U.K. software version linked to the collar. I had a T5 bought from France and paid gps4u $20 for the link.. all good yip!! Then bought 2 t5s for spares also French.. now they wont sell the link!!! Its because there not legal in the U.K. and Ireland... my yr old 3x T5s have all stopped picking up gps!!! Its a nightmare... someone knows something it aint Rocket science when the link is given.. think of all the trackers bought by everyone. Yet they will not help only for a small fortune.. one other reason for collar problems might be sheep wire breaking our collars.. you see much sheep fencing in USA? New trackers available in U.K. are my new option. Hateful thing to do but hounds are worth more to us..

 

its definitely not gps4us problem that there a great online shop and very helpful. Garmin in particular dont give two hoots.

We have 7 Garmin T5 collars ,every one is not linking up .They are just flashing green steady ,they should be flashing three times,the dog info on the Astro 320 shows a ? Where the gps and communication icons are.When out using them they would indicate the dog was in half a mile away ,when the dog was with us.

I think there has been a corrupt data issue and they needed updating ,but we can not update them as they are not supposed to be over here.

Dose any one know if there is any way of getting around this problem.We opened one up checked the gps wire ,that was fine put it back together and it worked fine but it soon packed  in again .

Many Thanks

Have they been working previously in the uk ? If not they will need the uk software . Where did you buy them from ?

Yes working fine 3-4 days a week for over 2 years. Then all of a sudden 4 stopped working over the space of 6 weeks. I bought them from gps4us.

Been Using Garmin trackers now must be 10 years , and had a few collars over years go down like what has been said , I just put it down to wear and tear and bumps they pick up on the dogs .

Yeah could be the case as the cover that we hunt can be really dense with windblow and gorse so could be wear and tear. I just thought it strange that they all went down in such a short period.

Forgot to mention all the collars that went down were T5s , never had probs with T5 Mini or other collars on older model trackers 

[bunnyboiler 1,053]

What about changing the batteries?

[Beaglepack 2]

Iv tried loads of different things that had worked for people but nothing has got them going
